Pure Gallus

You may think

Your cheeky wink

Was both charming

And flirtatious

Yet your inane smile

And attempt to beguile

Tested nothing

But my patience

Emergency Exits

Thinking back

To that night

A split decision

And your plane

Took flight

If I’d known then

What I do now

I’d have grabbed

Your hand

And never

Let go

Netflix and (Actually) Chill

Please don’t think

That I’m not keen

Being intentionally rude

Or deliberately mean

I’m just not in the mood

To give you head

And I’d rather we watch

This box set instead

Baby Steps

Why don’t

We leave now

He said

Let’s get a bus,

Taxi or walk

We won’t

Be having sex

She said

But I’d love it

If we could talk

And I’d Know

You think yourself

Some fucking big shot

But really,

Is that all you’ve got?

‘Cause if what you’re giving

Is truly your best

Then you’re no bigger

Than all the rest

Wreckage

As the thunder claps

And the heavens open

I search through the scraps

Of what you have broken

It Still Hurts

I know

That you’re

In love

With her

But please spare

A thought

For me

I know we

Were bereft

And that’s why

You left

But you were once

Everything

To me

The Thief Of Joy

I wonder

Where

You are

Tonight

And if

You ever

Think of me

Or do you

Just

Lay there

Her hands in

Your hair

As you sigh

Contentedly

A Shot In The Dark

Do you think

We connected

Because we’re

Both damaged

Inside

That,

Perhaps,

We only found

Each other

As we had

Nowhere left

To hide

Magic

How we were

Tonight

Wasn’t

Quite right

In fact,

We were downright

Laughable

But when

A love affair

Is in the air

I guess no one is

Entirely rational

Truth Hurts

Please

Don’t look

At me

That way

I know

What you

Are going

To say

And when

You do

I’ll know

For sure

That what

We had

Can be

No more

Besotted

For getting me

To agree

You always seemed

To have the knack

But I’ve been moving on

All summer long

And now I know

I’ll never look back

Sweet Revenge

Do you ever

Think of me

When you’re lying

In her bed?

Because I don’t ever

Think of you

Happy she’s stuck with you

Instead

Sleight Of Hand

What do we have here?

He said 

Hand snaking

Towards his crotch 

I really can’t be arsed 

She said 

So I’ll just sit here

And watch

Ideals

Heavy is

The head

That wears

The crown

Heavy is

The heart

That’s been

Let down

All Talked Out

Is it really

Any wonder

Why I no longer

Sleep with men

When all they’ve done

Is let me down

Time

And time again

Affection

It matters not

In the end

If from a woman

Or a man

Sometimes

All you can do

Is to take

Whatever you can

“How Can You Mend A Broken Heart?”

I just thought

I’d call

He said

To check

That you’re ok

You are

So very kind

She said

To care for me

That way 

I’ll also ask

While I’m on

He said

If there’s anything

I can do?

I’m sure

I’ll be fine

She said

To me this

Is nothing new

The Holiday Romance

You’d better

Get them off

She said

Come on now

Don’t be shy

It won’t be long

Until the end of the song

And we’ll both

Be saying goodbye

Incompatible

I love to spend

Time with you

Just chatting

Is so much fun

But if I think

Of us both in bed

All I can see

Inside my head

Is how quickly

That spark

Would be gone

Punching Bags

If we take away

The anger

The frustration

And the pain

It’s pretty clear

Neither one of us

Has anything

To gain
