I’ve Seen You Looking

It’s only hypothetical

Because too much time has passed

Though I’m pretty sure

If I wanted more

You’d say yes, if asked


Hypothetically Speaking

Do you
ever think
of me

In those
moments
you have spare

Do you
ever
dream

Of running
your fingers
through my hair

Do you ever
imagine how
it would feel

If you
held your
hand in mine

Do you ever
long to look
into my eyes

And feel
our souls
entwine

Resignation

What can you do

When you’ve been mistaken

When you realise your life

You have forsaken

When you can’t go back

And start again

When it’s only regret

That does now remain


Double Take

It’s only
now I
realise
I’ve
played
this all
wrong

And it
actually
should
have
been
you all
along

You’ll be here all day

There really isn’t much to find

Well I will never stop looking

Until the end of time

Little Women

I think you’ll find

We’re in charge now

We say when

We say how

No longer will we be

All small and meek

We will approach you

If it’s sex

We seek


Too Late

You
only
want
me
now

Because
he

he
does

Well
you
had
your
chance

But
you
rebuffed
my
advance

So go

I Tried To Warn You

She never did see it

And now you’re apart

You have been left

With wounds that smart

If only you’d listened

To my remark

You could’ve saved yourself

The broken heart


You Deserve More

I wish you
could see
yourself with a
different view

And know
there are so
many things to
love about you

My only hope
is that she
will see it
again soon too

Then perhaps
you could both
just stop
making do

Losing That Loving Feeling

Are you sure that you’re done

She said

You’re not even up for a fling?

I am absolutely sure

He said

I’m no longer ‘up’ for anything


A Solo Affair

I’m fine
by myself
without
all of
that

Just me
here
alone
in my
own flat

I don’t
need to
feel anyone

As frankly
I never
really
liked it
much

I can clearly remember

Their wedding day

All of that promise

On display

It’s such a shame

It ended that way

And now love’s young dream

Has faded away


The(ir) Split

It’s
not
about
what
she

Or

It’s

This little minx that I portray

Go have myself a field day

A Younger Model

Will you still love me

When I am old and grey

Will you still want me

To touch you in that way

Will you still need me

To kiss you goodbye each day

Or will you just find someone else

And simply walk away


A Risky Business

We really

This one was a warning

To a guy who should’ve known better

He’d hurt my friend

So this rhyme I penned

To let him know how much he’d upset her


Trip Wires

If
love is
not what

what
you do

Then
you’ve

He never did finish that sentence

Or did he help me to fly

And left me high and dry

You should never go to bed

But what do you do

When he always blames you

And you argue every day

The Eclipse

It happened quite by accident

As when she left the tent that morning

There was no way she could have known

That a whole new era was dawning

But as they both sat drinking wine

With their connection forming

She began to realise, at last,

Her heart was capable of rewarming


The Lost (We)ekend

I
don’t
know how
we got here

But
here
we are
nonetheless

We
should
just make
the best of it

Before
we have
to reassess

Your Butterfly, Madame…

It’s better to have loved and lost

Than to never have loved at all

And it’s better to hide the knives,

I find,

To protect your abdominal wall


The Dagger

At

feel pain

As my

And Lots Of It

If love was all you needed

Then we’d all be happy as fuck

So it’s about time that we conceded

What you actually need is luck


Nowhere Near

I love you

You love me

If only that was enough

For us to be happy

Better This Way

I’m glad that you agree

She said

It’s most definitely for the best

They’d never forgive us anyway

He said

If we ever confessed

Here, Rub This

It seems her wish

Wasn’t his command

Nor was ensuring

Her needs were met

This became

Pretty obvious

When they went back

To bed


Three Wishes

She stops
and sighs
as he
implores
her to stay

But I don’t
think you can
help me,
she says,
turning away

He looks
and smiles
as he
reaches for
her hand

Just trust
me, he says,
your
wish is my

Melting

Don’t get me wrong

It’ll take much more

Than just a smile

For my heart to thaw

But until such time

It doesn’t mean

That we can’t have fun

In between


Your Smile

Even
though
my
heart

Resides
in the
deep
freeze

Your
smile
has the
power

To make
me weak

You can deny it

All you want

Claim that you

Would never stray

But if I was to check

What’s on your neck

The truth would be plain as day

your

So
you

Disappointing The Kid Inside

I must’ve overdosed on Disney

Or read too many fairy tales

For endings like this

Don’t actually exist

As true love always fails

I wish I could sleep forever

As silly as that seems

For then we’d be together

Happy, in my dreams

Together In Time

And so they sat,

Together in time,

Talking until dawn.

Not just did they speak,

Of their lives past,

But also of those to come.


Past Lives

I think I remember you,
she said,
I think we’ve met before.

Perhaps it was when I was young,
she said,
and before my heart was sore.

I don’t remember meeting,
he said,
although I really can’t be sure.

Why don’t you sit down now,
he said,
and talk to me some more.

A Repeat Performance

That being said

Given what happened in bed

One thing is certainly true

If I ever planned

To have a two night stand

It would most definitely be with you


In Beero Veritas

Who’d have thought

That we’d come to

Both half dead

And needing the loo

Perhaps we should

Have thought this through

Instead of getting drunk

And doing the do

The Promise That Can’t Be Kept

He knew right then

As he watched

The tear fall from her eye

It was best to forget

And to just let

His feelings for her die


Silent Conversations

Not yet
but soon
she says,
as she makes her
way to the door

But when,
how soon
he asks
as he stares
at the floor

Not yet
but soon
she says,
as her head
is slowly bowed

But when,
how soon
he asks
will we
be allowed?

Your cardigan, glasses and quiff

If you weren’t so much older

Maybe I’d have been bolder

And asked you out forthwith

I saw you looking

Over dinner

Your smile discreet

When she sashayed

To the dance floor

In revelatory style

Walk down the ailse

Honesty

I wrote this one

While hanging on

For a reply to a particular text

As I had shown it

I thought I’d blown it

And wasn’t sure what was next

As it was

It was just a pause

As you wrote back in earnest

And so then I knew

I still had you

And that my effort was worth it


Reassured

The relief
is palpable

My anxiety
is pacified

Our normality
is restored

Thank fuck
you replied
