The extent of your brilliance
They never could see
But you were always more
Than just a man to me

Afterlife
You still
save me
in so
many ways
Even
from
beyond
the grave

Letting You Go
I really did love you, you know
I wish I’d told you so before
And now you’re gone
Nothing can be done
But to regret it
Forevermore

Ain’t Life Grand
We
only
really
reached
halfway
When
you
went
and
died
on me
Now
what
was
once
bright
is grey
As
I deal
with
life’s
debris

The View
Waves crash,
As memories smash,
Against the walls of my heart.
That we were once here,
Full of youthful cheer,
Just tears my soul apart.

I remember

The Death Of Me
The Death Of Me
Nearly twenty years together
And what do I have to show
Just a blackened heart
Now we’re three years apart
And sadness the status quo

Six Years Ago
Walk down the aisle with me?
She said
The bakery aisle, that is
I thought you were being serious

And my heart just skipped a beat

Lightning strikes
As grief still cuts me

Tu Me Manques
I just wish you were still here.
That’s it.
No flowery language.
No poetic licence.
I just wish you hadn’t died.
Simple.

And
it was

me
and
you
Holding

in

Solace
Where is it you’re going
He asked
To the mountains
She replied
I need the peace and quiet
She said
To get through the day he died
This Next Wee While
If you
notice
that I’ve
gone
There is
no need
to worry
Sometimes
I have
to run
away
From
situations
in a hurry
But
do not
doubt my
return
Please,
fret
ye not
I will
be back
very
soon
To
fully
reclaim
my
spot

Many more moons
Have passed since then
And plenty of suns
Now too
In fact it’s been
1,458 days
That I’ve been here
Without you

Many A Moon
As that
day draws
ever closer
The pain
cannot be
avoided
To think
it was just
a year ago
When my
whole world
imploded

I found your

Now I’ve

I don’t

One Decision, One Thousand Lifetimes
I’m not sure if this notion
Of there only ever being one person
For us to love is true
But what I can say for sure
Is even if there were a hundred more
I would only ever want you
Galaxies
If
I was
to
decide
To
leave
this
place
I’d
still
find
you
again
In
any
time or

And

always
warm
them

How we met our lovers
But some such stories
Of our former glories
Are more significant than others

That Split Second
When I saw you
sleeping there
I couldn’t help
but stop and stare
Probably because
I was drunk too
Although nowhere

The Bookshop (2)
I went back into that bookshop
Just for old times sake
And although they played
A different song today
I still remembered our first date
The Bookshop (1)
I went
in there
just now
The one
I went into
with you
They were
playing
your song
on the radio
And because
you would
have smiled,
I smiled too

His Best Friend
We both met up again last night
And as we held each other tight
We reveled in our connection to you
Before parting in the morning hue
Your Birthday
Yesterday
we
remembered
you.
Together,
in this
city, just
us two.
We laughed,
and smoked
and drank
too much beer.
Both of us
wishing you
were still
fucking here.

That day
How you made sure
Your pain
Stopped
Were You Afraid Of Dying?
It

you

Neither

knowing
why
Now
my
only
hope
Is
you
are
smoking
dope
At

Sometimes it is sadness
Sometimes it’s deep frustration
But mostly it’s just
That I still feel lost
In this whole fucking situation

That
It’s

That you

here when
I look

It’s

That I’ll
reach for
your hand
and it won’t

#25 The Conductor
I wrote this one
On a train
Making my way
Back home again
I remember she asked me
Why it was I cried
‘Because he’s dead’
I replied
The Removal Van
All
my dreams
are dead.
All that’s left
is this room
inside my head,
Where you
once lived.
I wish
you’d move
back in.

Nineteen years of ups and downs
Of keeping the wolves at bay
But looking back now
We always got through, somehow
Doing things our own way

Damned am I
who fell in
love with you

A Poor Substitute
I made one into a pillow
To keep with me in bed
But there’s no point in denying
I’ve spent many a night crying
Wishing it was you instead
Your Shirt
I still have it.
Your shirt.
I can feel it.
I can smell it.
I just wish you were still here.
Wearing it.

Comment on how it has aged
Yet it seems that when

It’s only my tears that fill the page

On the pillow
Flowers and a bath bomb or two
I’ll buy them myself
Again this year
As there’s no way I can get them from you

O Unhappy Day

But if there’s no more after him
Then I wouldn’t be surprised

I remember
When
I thought

And I

But
then
I met

And
within

I knew
I’d never

I had to come back here,
How could I not?
Because it all started here,
On that night I’ve never forgot.
