I need you
To be nice to me
But also
A little rough too
Because after today
To keep the wolves at bay
Only both of those
Will do
"All my life's buried here, heap earth upon it"
I need you
To be nice to me
But also
A little rough too
Because after today
To keep the wolves at bay
Only both of those
Will do
If I’ve learned one thing
After all these years
It’s that being kind to yourself
Doesn’t end in tears
And something else I’ve learned
From surviving the worst
Is that loving yourself
Never fucking hurts
As delightful
As one kiss may be
I know it will end
In tears for me
I am incapable
Of love, you see
So now I avoid
Such misery
We're both
To blame
For this
Disaster
Never stopping
To think
What would
Happen after
They found out
What we did
What was once
Just a fling
Has now
Fucked up
Everything
And left us
Knee deep
In shit
Why don’t we stay?
Drink some beer
Eat our food
Enjoy ourselves here
I’d rather go home
And take you to bed
So we can have fun
In there instead
Now that it’s all
Said and done
There’s still
One answer
I lack:
Why the fuck
Did you let me
Love you
If you didn’t want
To love me back?
With each day
That passes by
Things become
Less of a blur
Now I know
I don’t miss
You at all
Just who I thought
You were
In order
For things
To go
To plan
You have
To make one
First
No good
Ever comes
From
Putting it off
Just because
You fear
The worst
I wonder
If today
Will be the day
You call
To tell me
That you need me
And how you’re aching
For it all
So I’ll sit here
And wait
Making sure
The line is clear
Because yours
Is the only your voice
I am desperate
To hear
“Love at first sight, to me, sounds like suffocation or stalker material.”

What would it be like
If we met
Would we hit it off
Or just regret
Ever agreeing to a date?
Maybe we should keep
The fantasy
By just staying friends
Digitally
And leave the rest to fate?
I knew it wouldn’t work
But I said yes anyway
I just needed to prove
That one afternoon
Couldn’t chase
My demons away
If only you
Could see me now
I’m sure
That you’d be proud
I think you’d agree
I’m as I should be
And you’d say you love me
Out loud
It was really nice
To see you today
Now time has seen
Most memories away
Yet when I said
Goodbye, my friend
Both of us knew
This is the end
In another place
And another time
I’d be yours
And you’d be mine
But as we’re here
And the time is now
Seems we both
Have to settle
For just chatting,
Somehow
As wonderful
As one night may seem
I simply can’t agree
To such a scheme
As being with you
Even for a minute
Would leave a pile of shit
And me knee deep in it
If only you could wait
She said
I’d make it worth your while
As much as that appeals
He said
Hanging around just ain’t my style
All it really needed
Was for you to take my hand
To whisper to me, sweetly
And to say you understand
As I run down
This darkened road
My heart beats fast
Ready to explode
Just thinking
Of what lies ahead
Little do I know
As I follow the flame
It’ll turn out to be
Such a shame
As you’ve walked
The other way, instead
If only
You would see me
The way
That I see you
But now you’ve gone
And married her
To wait
Is all I can do
It’s nice to have you around
She said
I feel better when you’re here
I wouldn’t be anywhere else
He said
I hope that much is clear
I know
You’re feeling anxious
I can sense
How scared you are
But if you
Can let me
I promise I’ll
Go gently
And to barely leave
A scar
I’m not sure
She said
If I did the right thing
Trust me
He said
He’ll definitely ring
Maybe it’s you
Maybe it’s me
Maybe we’re both
Just lost at sea
Of all the men
It has been
There’s no one
That compares to
Yet of all the men
It will be
I must accept
It’ll never be you
I really hope
You’ll meet me
And we’ll leave
Hand in hand
But the journey ahead
Is risky
So if not,
I’ll understand
I did
What I did
All those years
Because
I thought
I loved you
But now
I can see
How you
Treated me
And what a shell
That turned me
Into
Please,
Just give me something
Even if
It’s only one word
I don’t need
Your comfort
But just to know
That I’ve been heard
I thought of us
Again today
And, as always,
You made me smile
It was a welcome break
From all the heartache
Even if only
For a while
Happy Valentine’s Day
He said
Here’s a teddy
And some flowers
I’d rather go without
She said
Than have to sit with you
For hours
Come on over
We’ll watch TV
I don’t expect
You to sleep with me
We’ll have pizza
And a drink or two
Then after that
It’s up to you
I did
What you wanted
I took you
To the brink
But you
Should know
That down below
I never
Felt a thing
