Invasion (Free verse) by Roisin
A lead marble blocks my gullet,
My floundering heart makes me sick.
My mouth, no longer my own,
corners hang on hooks;
I'm exhausted by the irritation.
I'm sorry I speak in contradictions
and push you away for not sitting close,
fester and throw accusations
and try to call an end to something which
exists independently.
Objectively I watch this incongruent imposter,
cringing at the fool,
trying to remain faithful to a forgotten friend.

However, lines 3 and 4 are good, so are the first two lines of stanza 2 and the final line. 'Something which exists independently of my control' is maybe too philosophical although it works quite well.
Hope these suggestions were useful.
I look forward to the revision of this!
