It’s only now
On this
Winters night
That I wish
You were here
By my side
"All my life's buried here, heap earth upon it"
It’s only now
On this
Winters night
That I wish
You were here
By my side
If what you say
Proves to be true
Then I will give
Myself to you
But if what you say
Proves to be false
Then I’ll rip you apart
Without remorse
You must have
Thought me stupid
Standing there,
Aghast
It’s just
I’d never thought
Of a ménage
Let alone à trois
It wasn’t
That I
Am frigid
Or disinterested
In scoring
But your attempts
To flirt
Were insipid
And your chat,
Pretty boring
I know you think
Your little ditty
Conveys sincerity
And depth
But your face
Is far too
To have
The desired effect
Of all
The things
I've known
To be true
I'd say one
Is the spark
Between me
And you
Not here
She said
Let’s do this
In private
We can’t count,
After all,
On the dead
Staying quiet
Like eager young lovers
We were star-crossed
In paradise, it seemed
But at what cost?
As I lie here
Watching
Him snore
I can’t help
But feel
I’ve been here
Before
I can see
You look
At my beer
So put down
Your book
And get
Over here
Eyes wide
Head turned
Tongue sharp
Fingers burnt
I wanted
Your hands
To feel
Like his
To have one
More night
Of unbridled
Bliss
But as soon
As we touched
Let alone
Kissed
I knew
From now on
It would feel
Like this
There’s no need
For anything fancy
Or to reinvent
The wheel
Because it won’t be
What you say to me
But how
You make me feel
As I sit here
And nurse
My beer
Full of sorrow
And regret
I realise
I’ve never
Loved anyone
As much as
The man
I’ve never met
I hope you don’t mind me asking
He said
But do you think of me
At all?
I’ll remember that night forever
She said
But the rest
I can’t recall
After all
The effort
I put in
You’d think
I’d learn
To enjoy it
But I know
Before long
I’ll start
To feel wronged
And then
I’ll just fucking
Destroy it
Give me a pen
And I will trace
The exact outline
Of his face
Without
Even
Looking
Reflecting on
Our last
Little
Tête-à-tête
I feel like
I’ve won,
Finally
As this time
I cared
Far less
About you
Than you
Have ever
Cared about me
I didn’t believe in love
She said
Until my head
Was turned
Then I realised
How right I was
When I got
My fingers burned
Knowing
We’ll never
Meet again
Isn’t even
The worst
It’s more the fact
You never called back
That really
Fucking hurts
Rest assured
Our assignation
Leaves you with
No obligation
I often think
Of that night
And how events
Proceeded
Because being seduced
Was the confidence boost
That I so sorely
I needed
Even if
You love me now
There’s no way
That it can last
For I know my luck
And I’ll fuck it up
Losing all
That we have amassed
Nothing
Of what
We had
Remains
As our
Memories
Dance
Between
The flames
If I could love anyone
She said
Then it would be you
But what’s inside me now
Is broken
And there is nothing
I can do
I’ll sleep with you
When I’m good and ready
So don’t come around here
All hot and heavy
Thinking your patter
Will trick me to bed
You see all that talk
I’ve heard before
And believe you me
I know the score
So never again
Can I be misled
I need time
To think it through
She said
It’s not that cut
And dried
Well you need
To hurry up
He said
As time’s not on
Our side
I wrote to you
The other day
As I find the words
Too hard to say
So I thought a note
The best way to approach it
That is, of course,
If I ever post it
When I see you love
So lazily
It makes me think
There’s hope for me
To steal him away
Soon
As another sun sets
On our argument
My stomach
Is still in bits
Because of all the things
We could’ve been
I never thought
That we’d be this
I never said
You weren’t thoughtful
Not conscientious or kind
It’s just that when I said
I wish you were dead
I had other things
On my mind
