Let us stop
Take a pew
There’s something
I need
To say to you
I have to ask
Now that he’s dead
Do you think
You could ever
Love me instead?
"All my life's buried here, heap earth upon it"
Let us stop
Take a pew
There’s something
I need
To say to you
I have to ask
Now that he’s dead
Do you think
You could ever
Love me instead?
Do you ever wonder
He said
What will happen at the end?
Blessed relief, I hope
She said
That’s if we’re not condemned
I thought
I would
Be better
If I could just
Forget
About you
But it’s proving
Too hard
With a heart
This scarred
To move on
With anyone new
I’m so glad
I walked away
And left without
Baying for blood
As I know
My silence killed you
More than my anger
Ever could
And when
That time
Rolls around
There will be
No hesitating
For when you,
Finally,
Decide to call
I will be here,
Waiting
I could do without it
If I’m honest
As I’d much rather
Just stay in
But I know you’ll say
I promised
So I guess I’ll take it
On the chin
I’m sorry
To be a burden
I don’t mean
To cause you pain
But I’ll be honest
I cannot promise
That I’ll never do it
Again
When
The night is over
And the deed
Is done
I’ll just see
Myself out
Knowing full well
You have won
It was only
When my fingers
Were well
And truly burnt
That I realised
We were good together
Until we really
Fucking weren’t
When you said goodbye, that day
You left me
Broken and scarred
Which is why now
It’s so easy to treat you
With such a callous disregard
I can’t believe
You’ve left me
Alone, and
In this position
I never agreed
To this bullshit
Nor did I give you
Permission
Fiona
Finds the biscuits
As Paula
Pours the tea
Stuart
Starts the talking
While Luke laughs
Affectedly
As I sit here
And listen
It all becomes
Abundantly clear
So I relax, safe,
In the knowledge
I’m not the only
Fuck up here
If only
I’d known then
That we would never
Have sex again
I’d have traced
Every inch of you
And etched it
In my brain
I need
To go home
And get
Some rest
After laughing
Too much
Whilst thoroughly
Depressed
As I sit here
Listening
The conversation
A tad humdrum
I still recognise
Your voice,
It seems,
But not the person
You’ve become
I’m sorry
I couldn’t comfort you
When that text
Came in
I saw
How you were struggling
To keep it
All within
But I have been there,
You see
And I can’t
Go back again
That’s why I couldn’t
Be the one
To help you
With your pain
I’m glad that we were introduced
And shared a drink or two
It’s been ages since I’ve had a laugh
And danced the whole night through
Yet I’m sorry I also got awkward
When it was time to say goodbye
I just wasn’t sure what to do
About that twinkle in your eye
I talk a very good game you see
And can still flirt up a storm
But when push, inevitably, comes to shove
I’m simply unable to perform
It was never
Real love
It wasn’t even
Infatuation
You were just a way
To brighten the day
And help offset
My frustration
You weren’t
The first
You won’t be
The last
But you certainly were
My everything
It’s good to see
You’re moving on
It’s just a shame
That it’s with her
I wish you well
Although time will tell
If you will get
What you deserve
For all your experience
He said
You’re still so fucking naive
I grew up watching fairy tales
She said
So that’s what I was led to believe
Apart from
Fixing the fuse box
Or putting up
The odd shelf
There is nothing
You can do for me
That I cannot do
Myself
I need you
To be nice to me
But also
A little rough too
Because after today
To keep the wolves at bay
Only both of those
Will do
If I’ve learned one thing
After all these years
It’s that being kind to yourself
Doesn’t end in tears
And something else I’ve learned
From surviving the worst
Is that loving yourself
Never fucking hurts
If I had the chance
To meet you again
I’d walk away
From day one
To protect myself
From a living hell
I’d say hello
And then be gone
I am open
To suggestion
I’ll take any advice
On board
But don’t be upset
If your words, I reject,
And decide
Of my own accord
They just assumed
I was better
Because they
Had all forgotten
So I’d just pretend
For months on end
As we had
Fuck all left
In common
As delightful
As one kiss may be
I know it will end
In tears for me
I am incapable
Of love, you see
So now I avoid
Such misery
I know
To hear me say it
Can be quite
A scary thing
But, trust me,
When I feel like this
It is far better out,
Than in
I’ve forgotten
What you sound like
Now
And it cuts me
Like a knife
I’m not sure if
I can cope
With such a silence
In my life
We're both
To blame
For this
Disaster
Never stopping
To think
What would
Happen after
They found out
What we did
What was once
Just a fling
Has now
Fucked up
Everything
And left us
Knee deep
In shit
