There wouldn’t be any problem
If I didn’t wake up tomorrow
At least I wouldn’t be in pain
Or suffocating in this sorrow
"All my life's buried here, heap earth upon it"
There wouldn’t be any problem
If I didn’t wake up tomorrow
At least I wouldn’t be in pain
Or suffocating in this sorrow
‘When the truth is found to be lies,
And all the joy within you dies…’
‘Screws fall out all the time. The world’s an imperfect place.’
– John Bender
Words don’t cut it
Anymore
So it’s back to the knives
Instead
I really thought
I was over this
But the trauma demon
Has to be fed
Under a
crushed
velveteen
skyI lie here,
alone,
and want
to die
Was it you
Or was it me
Who soldiered on
Too blind to see
That it was destined
To end like this
With us both falling
Into the abyss
With cider
A go go
And knickers
A yo yo
The experience
A so so
Anything more
A no no
If we leave things like this
He said
Tell me you won’t self destruct
I can’t make any promises
She said
As my head is completely fucked
Forgive and forget
That’s what they say
Be the bigger person
Just walk away
Well I must be cut
From a different cloth
For I’ll never tire
Of unleashing my wroth
You can wear
Flowers in your hair
Use your words
So elegantly
But it matters not
I couldn’t care a jot
For you’ll always be ugly
To me
Whether it’s a lion rampant,
The dragon or lions three
There should be nothing
But applause
For those who take the knee
Is this all I am to you
Just an object in a cage
Here only to be gawped at
Never allowed to engage
Well let me tell you something
That I know to be true
How from my prison I can see
The only animal here is you
I meant
What I said
When I left
‘Oh it gets dark, it gets lonely
On the other side from you…’
‘Dry your eyes, mate’
‘All charming people, I fancy, are spoiled.
It is the secret of their attraction.’
– Oscar Wilde
I may have said
You were exceptional
But I’m afraid, my dear,
You were never quite
The exception
When you tell them
How you met me
Remember to mention
How you forgot me too
Tell me
Who it works out for
In the end
And don’t lie
Because I’ll know
I’m not who you think I am
She said
There’s been many times I’ve lied
I knew from the moment we met
He said
That this wouldn’t be cut and dried
You can sit there all you want
My friend
Picking at your thumbs
But you and I know
How this will end
When the day of reckoning comes
