Loose Lips

Despite

What I said

I never loved you

To be honest

I barely cared

But in that second

My heart felt threatened,

Vulnerable

And scared

Yet to your credit

You took it well

And even managed

A smile

Still I think it best

To put this to rest

And not meet up

For a while

Happy Families

I know that this won’t last

She said

As I always end up alone

You could move in with me

He said

And make my house our home

Such A Low Bar

Okay,

So you were nice to me

On occasion,

You were kind

But my impromptu

“I think I love you”

Says more

About my state of mind

All Those Years Ago

I know

That I

Will always

Regret

Not taking

You home

That night

As being

With you

For an hour

Or two

Taught me

What love

Felt like

Safe Harbour

If

I ever

Need anything

You’re the one

I’ll always

Run to

The steadiest

Of ships

In a sea

Full of dicks

I’ll forever

Be grateful

For you

Keep It

I can’t

Be bothered

To work out

What’s mine

When it’s just 

Another

Waste

Of time

Too Complicated

I imagine

That

We should be

Because it’s fun

To think

Things through

Yet I know

With absolute

Certainty

That it

Could never

Be you

From The Doorway

I think

I’m falling

In love with you

Though I don’t

Even know

Your name

Maybe

One day

I’ll have the courage

To find a way to encourage

You to feel

The same

Either/Or

I could love you

Very much

Or I could love you

Not at all

Either way

I have to say

We would have

A fucking ball

Opening Up

I just don’t think I can

She said

Because of what happened

To me

We don’t have to do anything

He said

Other than sit here

And breathe

Left On Read

I missed you

So much today

It really

Fucking hurt

I wish

I could call

To say sorry

For it all

And that it would actually

Fucking work

Easy Really

Who knew

That after waiting

For all

This fucking time

All it

Would take

Was just one embrace

For happiness

To be mine

Rewinding The Film

I don’t know

If I lost you

Or if

You were never

Really mine

Either way

You’re gone

So I’ll keep

Moving on

And maybe 

Figure it out

In time

Just For Fun

Why don’t we

Just hit rewind

Go back to another

Place and time

Relive the day

That we first met

And when we didn’t

Hate each other yet

A More Accurate Verse

What happened to

“I’ll make you happy baby,

Just wait and see”

It’s been more like

“Give me an inch baby,

And I’ll take fucking three”

Don’t Come Crying To Me

I’m sorry

To have to say it

But I don’t think

About you

Anymore

And if that sounds

Unkind

I can, once again,

Outline

How it was you

Who closed

That door

Second Prize

I guess you were feeling lonely

Or particularly sad that day

As they are the only two reasons

You would look at me that way

Of Pensionable Age

If I was ten years younger

He said

Then I’d certainly be more bold

If you were ten years younger

She said

Then you’d still be way too old

Post Gym Workout

Don’t think

I’ll let you

Just lie there

All backwards cap

And grey

Sweatpants

For we both

Know when

I count

To ten

You won’t stand

Even half

A chance

Drained

I wouldn’t have

Invited you

If I didn’t want

You to come

Plus, I can’t go home

On my own

As my batteries

Are done

Fucking Humiliating

I am truly sorry

He said

I never meant

To break your heart

Maybe it would’ve been better

She said

To have been honest

From the start

Intentions

I’m not looking

For a relationship

I don’t want

To have sex

But we can walk

Just to talk

And maybe see

What happens next

Not Worth It

I wonder will you catch me

He said

If I should stumble and fall

I don’t even think I’d bother

She said

Putting my hand out at all

At The Winter Gardens

Let us stop

Take a pew

There’s something

I need

To say to you

I have to ask

Now that he’s dead

Do you think

You could ever

Love me instead?
