As the days
Get colder
And the years
Go marching on
I feel the joy
Of growing older
Is nothing short
Of a con
"All my life's buried here, heap earth upon it"
As the days
Get colder
And the years
Go marching on
I feel the joy
Of growing older
Is nothing short
Of a con
It may very well
Be spooky season
But for evil thoughts
I don’t need a reason
Waving goodbye
To my childhood dreams
As I now know nothing
Is what it seems
It feels like
The good times
Have passed me by
Due to booze,
Boredom,
And some pretty
Bad guys
I’m not that girl
You used to know
I killed her off
Many moons ago
Now close your mouth
And dry your eyes
As life isn’t all beer
And scampi fries
Through
The stink
Of stale beer
And smoke
I close
My eyes
And try not
To choke
It’s all too easy
To fall in love
With the brilliance
Of your music
Yet for such a charming,
Handsome man
It seems you were
A bit of a prick
I’m relieved to read
Your memories
Have now started
To blend
As heaven knows
With enough guilt
I already
Must contend
I know
I only
Just got here
But now
I can’t wait
To leave
I know
It’s been
About a year
But from you
I still need
A reprieve
I hear you
Snoring
Through the wall
And wonder if
I’ll ever sleep
At all
Such an intriguing web
Of tales you spin
All to hide
From what lurks within
Scream
And shout
All you like
But it
Won’t change
A thing
Because if
This bluster
Is all you
Can muster
Then there’s
No chance
You
Will win
Thank you
So much
For your
Concern
But I
Am doing
Just fine
I don’t feel
I need to
Be healed
So your offer
I must decline
What is life
He said
Without a little risk?
There’s testing the limit
She said
And then taking the piss
Win or lose
You’ll never prove
You’re a better man
Than him
Now I know
Why you left
Time
And time again
It wasn’t because
I wasn’t enough
You just couldn’t
Stand the pain
Yes
We should all
Go out
And vote
But really,
What’s the point?
When those in power
The depths
Do scour
And criminals
Forever appoint
Yet another
Young life
Gone too soon
More candles lit
And flowers
Now strewn
Lest we forget
What an impact
It has
When the world
Watches on
But ignores red flags
Never again
Will I give you
The benefit
Of the doubt
Not now your lies
Have been uncovered
And the truth
Is finally out
Is there another way
She asked
To cure my ills?
I’d have no problem
Taking the pills
If there was something
He said
To advise, I would
But no pill out there
Would do you any good
What are you saying
She asked
I’m devoid of hope?
All that’s left
Is to sit around and mope?
What I mean
He said
Is given your pain
The only way forward
Is to rewire your brain
I remember precisely
Where I was
Along with the time
And date
When I knew
To just stop trying
And resign myself
To fate
If the sun
And the moon
Cannot agree
Then fuck knows why
You’d ever ask me
Don’t
Ask me
Because
I don’t care
I’ve got better things
To do
Than my thoughts
To share
Twinkle Twinkle
Little star
How utterly insignificant
Us fuckwits really are
Thank fuck
She said
I’m getting away
I couldn’t take it
Another day
I’m so happy
He said
You’re visiting me
As I’ll help you forget,
Easily
Are you sure
You had
“The time
Of your life”
Because,
Believe me,
Your face
Said otherwise
Waking up
This morning
To his
Promises
Of change
Yet unable
To shake
The feeling
That he’ll
Fuck it up
Again
Stay where
You are
And hold
Them tight
For there
Be creatures
That stalk
The night
The decision
Was harder
When I thought
People cared
Now I know
They’re indifferent
I’m not
Even scared
My bags are packed
I’m ready to go
Now all I need
Is for you to show
Me where I can get
One for the road
