Aye, Right

Perhaps I could find a story

He said

That proves all the stars align

I fear that for that one

She said

I’d wait a long fucking time


Story Books

Read

some

She
said

I
swoon

sound
of your
voice

Tell
me

said

You

it’s

First Love Isn’t Always Kind

It does not matter

That my heart’s shattered

And my self esteem is on the floor

I know you only call me

When you’re feeling horny

And yet I’ll always be back for more


Bad Habits

We
really
should

Give
this
thing
up

But
my

is
fading

If
we

stop

Just
hooking
up

Then this

feel so
degrading

It would be nice to be picked


It Should Be Me

Looking

Unreciprocated Love

It will never be

The right time for me

I just have to accept it

As I cannot take

The abject heartache

Each time I am rejected


Each Time We Meet

Why isn’t
it me,
she asks,

Why can’t
it be us?

For I
already
love another,
he says,

As her
dreams
crumble
to dust.

Unwilling To Submit

To give me time

And space to clear my head

But as you’ve shown

You can’t leave me alone

Let’s just call it quits instead


Over

Time may heal

Hearts can mend

Until then accept

This is the end

I’ll explain everything as we go

It’s the resultant shame I need to forgo

It’s

That truth you should never reveal

If only you’d ask

My undying love

I would confess

Alas it seems

Bide my time

‘I’ll Be There For You’

Sometimes all you need

Is a shoulder on which to cry

Someone armed with tissues

To help wipe away your issues

Is enough to help you get by


Why Not

Come here

She implored

And sit with me

Let’s drink some wine

Watch shit TV

We can hold hands

And talk all night

Until our troubles

Are out of sight

An Asylum For The Hysterically Widowed

I remember that night so well

Even though I don’t remember his face

I felt so guilty

Thinking they should commit me

Just for craving his embrace


Guilty

I got lost
in his eyes
when he spoke to me
and, for a moment,
I wondered what
it would be like
to hold his hand.

I’m sorry.

An Outrageous Flirt

Back before

I was heart broken

And became

Such a misery

I was capable

Of having fun

Which I did,

Consistently

This is one

Of many stories

From when I was

The queen of frolicking

To think how I was then

Compared to now

Is quite simply

Astonishing

If I could roll back

The years

And talk

To a younger me

I would tell her

‘Don’t just pick one fella’

And keep living your life

Care free


A Love Quadrangle

It
should
be
me

Said
man
number
one

I’ve
been
here
from
the
start

It
should
be

Said
man
number
two

I’d
never
break
her
heart

It
should
be
me

Said

number

I

To wonder

And if I should’ve

Walked away

Perhaps we’d
have been

For never

Perhaps we’d

With nothing

Love’s Young Dream

Dance, you fools, dance

Dance far away from me

And you won’t even be friends

You can do ‘most anything

The Transaction

Give it to me hard

Pinch me a little too hard
