Pros & Cons

Whatever
it is you
want
from me

I just
don’t
have it
to give

As I’m
focusing
all of my
attention

On
finding
reasons
to live

Conundrum

What
keeps
us
together

Can
also
tear
us
apart

But
what
ultimately
destroys
us

Might
just
mend
a broken
heart

The Two Of Us

I don’t want just anyone,

I only want you.

To feel you,

Touch you,

Wrap my arms around you.

Hold you,

Squeeze you,

Bring me to my knees,

You.

It’s always been you.

Utter(ing) Shite

Amongst
the worst
of the
lies

Are the
ones
I tell
myself

For the
safety
of my
sanity

And the
goodness
of my
health

Eighteen Months

It’s
all
still
so
fucking
surreal

I
can’t
get my
head
around
it

Fuck
knows
what
I am
supposed
to feel

Let
alone
how
to
explain
it

Immoral

This
can’t
go on

We
mustn’t
continue

As the
guilt is
seeping

Into
every
sinew

It
has to
stop

It
shouldn’t
have
started

As
we
made a
mockery

Of our
dearly
departed

‘It’s The End Of The World As We Know It…’

So is this it

Do you think

Humankind

On the brink

Of utter demise

Total collapse

Never to see

Another sunrise perhaps

Or will we live on

For another chance

To think and to dream

Whilst our souls advance

Emancipation

I’m so
happy
I got
out of
there

As my
mind
was
going
fuck
knows
where

At
least
now
a smile
I can
wear

Whilst
I walk
around
without
a care

On (A) High

I
hope
you
will
remember

The
next
time
you
are
sad

I
could
have
been
there
for you

But
you
blew
each
chance
you had

So
now
you
will
find
me

Sitting
in my
ivory
tower
instead

Eating
strawberries
and
glugging
champagne

From
the
comfort
of my
bed

Food Of The Gods

How
do I
love
thee?

Let me
count
the
ways

It’s a
lot more
than
spaghetti

But
not as
much as
bolognese

The Debt Collector

You’ve
stolen
my life
from me

In
oh so
many
ways

It might
have been
you that
died

But
I’m
the one
who pays

Stroke Of Luck

I could
have
stayed
in that
day

And we
never
would
have
met

Instead
I chose
not to
go
home

A
decision
I won’t
ever
regret

50-50 Split

Everybody’s
everything

But

Nobody’s
nothing

Both at
the same
time

Nobody’s Hero (1)

Please
take no
notice
of me

For I’m
as fucked
as anyone
can be

So don’t
let what
I write
enthrall

As it
is just
words,
after all

Psycho(tic) Babble

It’s
past
midnight
again

And
still
I’m not
in bed

When will
they stop
driving
me insane

These
voices
inside
my head?

‘Bloody Awful Poetry’

You only
wear
that
leather
jacket

To
give
you
somekind
of mystery

But I
can see
straight
through
you

After
all,
we
share
a history

‘Bring Me Home And Have Me’

I can walk along

Feeling fine

Then without warning

You’re on my mind

I break for home

Each step quicker

Heart in my mouth

Stomach ever sicker

As I remember

With a groan

The reason why

I’m all alone
