What did I do
to deserve this?
Why did this
happen to me?
Where will
I end up now?
Who is coming
to save me?
Just Me, Myself & I
Spending
another
day at
home in
reflective
solitudeWas much
preferable
to seeing
you and
your shitty
attitude
The Sleeping Tablet
Thankfully,
tiredness
descends.
As upon
sleep,
sanity
depends.
Drunk
Looking in
the mirror
gives me
a fright,
But I think
I had a
good time
last night.
I don’t
remember
much or how
I got home,
Thank
fuck I’ve
woken up
alone.
Home Early
I
went
out
tonight
I tried
and I
failed
All
dreams
are now
curtailed
For that ship,
it seems,
has sailed
Misled
You say
it’s not me,
it’s you.But
you’re
a liar.And we
both know
that’s true.
Car Trouble
Nothing makes this better
Everything makes it worse
A body straining in first gear
And a mind stuck in reverse
Only You
With my
heart
in my
mouth
And my
head
in my
hands
It saddens
me to realise
That no one
understands
Waterfalls
Go on,
Keep crying.
It changes nothing.
Mourning
Darkness
casts a
shadow
over my
headAs it
does
over
my
heartThoughts
and
dreams
of you
aboundAs does
sorrow
that we
had to
part
The Washing Machine of Life
Up and down
Spinning around
No stability
to be found
Right and left
Side to side
Nowhere else
left to hide
Hang on,
where did
this sock
come from?
And where
the fuck
is the
other one?
The Better Person
I loved you,
When no one else did.
Remember that.
Already Grown Up
Come
with me,
he said,
take my
hand.
I want to
fly you to
Neverland.I’m sorry,
she said,
but there’s
no way
I can.
Please
say you
understand.
The Irritant
It actually
hurts to
listen to youLet alone
look you
in the eyePlease just
leave me
aloneFor I have
bigger fish
to fry
The Shot Glass
Drink,
drink,
and drink
again.
You know
that I’m
your only
friend.
Helpline
On the
day I
summon
the courage
to callI know
you’ll be
there to
break
my fall
Sugar Coating
Don’t
want
the
truth?
Then
don’t
ask
me.
I
will
not
lie,
To
protect
your
sanity.
Prescription For A Broken Heart
I took
the first
one this
morningThe rest
won’t be
as hard
to swallowSoon
my belly
will be
fullAnd I’ll
no longer
feel so
hollow
It’s Not Fair
Why do
you get to
be happy
again
When
I don’t?
Why do
you get
to love
again
When
I won’t?
At A Bedside, Desolate
There
is no
more
hope.There
are no
more
dreams.My life
continues
to fall apart
at the seams,As I
lie here
thinking
of you.Wondering
what the fuck
I’m supposed
to do.Now.
Concequences
You said
you wanted
to leave
And I
didn’t beg
you to stay
Now we
both lie to
someone else
And that’s
the price
we pay
Mastermind
Please
answer
my
questionInstead
of
avoiding
itAnd
try to
be
honestInstead
of
this
bullshit
On This Street
One woman cries at the kitchen sink
One man pours himself another drink
One woman sits in her bedroom binge eating
One man gives another a beating
One man rocks himself to sleep
One woman prays the lord her soul to keep
One man paces going quietly mad
One woman realises she’s been had
One man cries for the loss of his wife
One woman downs pills to end her life
They all know, deep down, their lives are shit
But, on this street, they are powerless to change it
Under The Covers
I can be
with you,
she said,
when my
sadness no
longer showsThen we
will go to
a place,
he said,
where no one
else knows
All At Sea
Abandon
hope
all ye
who enter
here
But why,
Captain,
there’s
nothing
to fear
Give
it time
for they
will
come
And I
can’t save
you from the
impending
scrum
Hidden
There’s
so much
of meYou
never
seeSo many
things
I doThat are
hidden
from viewI know you
won’t believe
it’s trueBut it’s
my way of
protecting you
Let
I let
myself
down
today
When I
let you
inside
my head
I wish I
could
just let
you go
And let
myself
enjoy life
instead
Smart Arse
Punctuation;
is (only) as important,
as you ‘want’ it to be.
Be Careful
There
is so
much
we are
never
told
Hypothetically Speaking
Do you
ever think
of meIn those
moments
you have spareDo you
ever
dreamOf running
your fingers
through my hairDo you ever
imagine how
it would feelIf you
held your
hand in mineDo you ever
long to look
into my eyesAnd feel
our souls
entwine
