“Watering down your pain so others feel less guilty is not being the ‘bigger person’.
It’s suppression. And it’s wrong.”

A Pathetic Attempt
Introspection
Only works
If you can see it through
And as we both know
You’ve done fuck all to show
Any desire in wanting to
Introspection Anyone?
Maybe if you
Could just look
Look inside your heart
For a minute
You would see
What you did to me
Was a heinous crime
To commit

It would be really helpful
She said
If you took it down a notch
It’s not like I’m asking for approval
She said
Or for you to fucking watch
Lack Of Understanding

hurting
yourself

It’s
not
about you,

Blushes
Well we sat at the kitchen table
Nervously eating toast
Feeling a little unstable
But both thouroughly engrossed
Until Someone Loses An Eye
What
happens
when the
laughter
stops
When
that
penny
finally
drops
When we
wake up
tomorrow
with a
raging
hangover
And that
stomach
churning
guilt
takes us
both over

Deluded
It doesn’t matter
What I say
It makes no difference
What I do
You will always believe
Your own bullshit
Despite it obviously
Being untrue
Exhausting
There
must be
a way
to make
you see
You’re
lying to
yourself
as much
as me

Crying Is Definitely For Me
“Raindrops keep falling on my head”
As that old sentimentalist croons
Well for me,
It’s not just raindrops
It’s a slew of fucking monsoons
Left Guessing
Time moves on
Yet I’m stood still
Fading away
Losing the will
As each second
Passes me by
I can’t seem to forget
Or stop asking why

Talking Too Much
I feel I should
Apologise again
For burdening you
Last night
I understand
It’s not your problem
And I know
It’s not your fight
Nice Try
Thank
you
for the
offer
But I
really
must
say no
There is
no need
for you
to listen
To any
more of
my tales
of woe

Fooling No One
I really am sorry my friend
He said
But I can’t do much with that
The only thing I could recommend
He said
Is that you start wearing a hat
The Barber’s Secrets
Feeling

In

He
dare not
mention
Your

It’s such a shame to see
He said
They just never stood a chance
It’s their own fucking fault
He said
For ever believing in romance
In Loving Memory
The girl you knew is gone
She said
Killed by love itself
You don’t need to tell me
He said
For I dug her grave myself

It may have been me
Who was the one
That was strong enough
For two
But the person I was
The most proud of
In the end
Was you

With Me
Your

on my

Forever
A reminder
of facing
that

Together

A face you wouldn’t tire
Of thumping
With such a countenance
You’ve been cursed
But such a thing
Would be unbecoming
So instead
I’ll use my words
Pulling No Punches
Come for me again
My friend
And events will turn apace
Your head will spin
As that shit eating grin
Is wiped right off your face

She who was once vivacious
Grew ever weary from the pain
And though she remained flirtatious
She never truly loved again
As Time Goes By
From
happy
souls
the
lifeblood
drains
Until
nothing
but
the
darkness
remains

Gruesome
I’m a little surprised
I wrote this
As it’s quite lyrical
For me
That is, of course,
If you ignore
The creepy imagery
How Long Has It Been Now?
From this cold embittered heart
I just cannot be prised apart
Like a leech feasting on a wound
Oh, is there any hope for me
From the past to be set free
And to love again become more attuned?

To a ridiculous degree
I have decided I will

You really are quite brilliant

Perhaps you should write a book
I doubt anyone would buy it

Asking For It
You have to accept
When you eat your friends
That they’re pretty adept
At taking revenge
The Dodgy Prawn
Sweating again
And feeling sick
All because of you
You little prick

Ramifications
I kept true to my promise
Just like I said I would
Now let’s both be honest
You fucking hate spinsterhood
Once And For All
Tell me you don’t want me
And I’ll walk away if I must
But just make sure
Your heart can endure
As you won’t see me again
For dust

Empty Threats
Obviously I’m speaking
Metaphorically, of course
I wouldn’t want to hurt you
With any kind of violent force
But I don’t want to come to your party
I’ve no interest in being your friend
I just hoped you’d realise
That you’re so thouroughly despised
I never want to see you again
RSV P(iss Off)
What are you
inviting me for?
After all
this time
I was sure you
had eradicated me
From the
family line
Well, let me save
you the bother
I wouldn’t even
want to come
Not unless I’d
get two free shots
With a fucking
sawn off shot gun

Saying It With A Song
I know that you
Will understand
When the play button
You press
As the songs I’ve picked
My love for you depict
In ways I
Could ever express
Mix Tapes
You could just say how you feel
He said
Instead of sending me a song
But these folks are professionals
She said
And I’d only get it wrong

What this one means

Inexplicable
The evidence

Not even twelve hours
Between night shifts
I don’t get paid
Enough for this shit
Running On Empty
I am so tired
I want to go home
To sit in the quiet
All on my own
For I’ve had enough
Of this battle of wills
I just need some silence
To cure my ills

I’d rather just sit
In the corner and brood
As for your ‘humour’

No Laughing Matter
I swear to you right now
On all that is good and holy
Your jokes rarely do anything
But kill me fucking slowly

The Age Old Question
Does the milk go in
First or last
And does it
Really matter
It tastes the same anyway
At the end of the day
But for me,
It’s always the latter
‘Two Lumps Please’
To

through
this
misery
Perhaps
I’ll

a drink
That

On Spontaneity
Not everyone finds it easy
To go out and be social
Some of us need
A little time to breathe
While considering
Such a proposal
Leave Me Alone
Although the walls
Are closing in
I have no desire
To leave
I don’t understand
Why you find that
So fucking hard
To believe

If you want to read

Very little here is smart
Quite often it is shitty
But it’s always from the heart

When you act that way

For

To
