I knew from the beginning
He said
Within you there was a spark
Writing is now a passion
She said
With misery my trademark
"All my life's buried here, heap earth upon it"
I knew from the beginning
He said
Within you there was a spark
Writing is now a passion

Well it’s the same room but everything is different…’
‘Memory only slumbers
It never dies’
– Unknown
There it goes
The last glimmer of humanity
Flushed down the bog
Along with my sanity
All that time
You never knew
How broken I was
Beneath the mask
And it wasn’t because
I didn’t tell you
You just never cared enough
To ask
You say you’re ever loving
Yet your cruelty holds no bounds
If you care as much
As they tell me
Then why do you make me frown
All is quiet
There’s no more debate
In the place of love
That lives beyond hate
With a click of a button
Just like that
It’s like you never even existed
All of those chats
Archived away
And any future contact, restricted
You’re OK
You know
Most days
You just get on
With things
Then suddenly
Out of nowhere
It hits you
At the foot
Of the stairs
And you weep
As you realise
Most days
Will never
Be the same
Again
You really should know by now
He said
You’ve been around for long enough
I guess I’m just an optimist
She said
And perhaps a tad out of touch
Did I really
Dodge that bullet
Or just hide
Behind you instead
I guess now
We’ll never know
As I’m alive
And you’re dead
I’m sorry I didn’t listen
He said
But I thought I knew it all
Now I’ll watch from the sidelines
She said
And cheer on your downfall
‘Best notify my next of kin
This wheel shall explode…’
‘I don’t care ’cause I’m not there
And I don’t care if I’m here tomorrow’
‘The Almighty tells me he can get me out of this mess, but he’s pretty sure you’re fucked.’

It’s pretty hot in here
He said
Do you think we should leave
We’ll be here until we die
She said
Stop being so fucking naive
Remember when I told you
I wished that I was dead
And you thought it was all
Just nonsense in my head
Well maybe now you’ll realise
You will finally get to see
The worst thing that you ever did
Was not to believe me
I haven’t slept
On that side
Even after
All this time
It will forever
Lie empty
As it’s yours
Not mine
Xxx
How on earth do you cope
He asked
With all the loneliness
You don’t have any choice
She said
When you’ve got no one left
If only I could tell you
But you wouldn’t understand
I don’t know how to open up
Or even if I can
Sharing how I feel with you
Would be difficult at best
So I will just keep trudging on
With my cards close to my chest
Leaping out of the frying pan
Headlong into the fire
Perhaps at the expense of love
But quenching my desire
Starting again
With eyes wide open
Less of a chance
Hearts will be broken
It’s like reading
Someone else’s words
Listening
To someone else’s story
But the heartache
And the pain
That’s still all mine
Even though I’ve lost
And she has won
I know your love
Will never be undone
‘But she only comes when she’s on top…’
‘Just because you feel good
Doesn’t make it right’
In your room
I got undressed
As my body took over
And my heart left
I thought I was prepared
For when my body I bared
Albeit I’d be a little jumpy
I just didn’t expect
When you kissed my neck
The road ahead would be so bumpy
Thanks for talking to me
He said
I hope it was of some worth
Thank you for listening
She said
It brought me back to earth
Just keep on walking
He said
And don’t you ever come back
Just stop fucking talking
She said
You’ve already won this attack
You must know why
I behave this way
The resignation is clear
On my face
You of all people
Should understand
My need for time
And space
