Calm your jets

So Much To Give

Worried you would leave
But I’ve been granted
A reprieve

Your ability
To be broken hearted
And yet still love me
No Matter What?
How

Be

When
your

What

To

Monogamy
After all is said and done
With battles lost and wars won
I’m starting to think differently
And relationships now are not for me
Expired
If you no longer love each other
Then what’s the fucking point
Just staying together to destroy each other
Noses always out of joint
Why not just call it quits
As it’s clear neither of you tries
That has to be better than being miserable
Until one of the two of you dies

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?

Marry Me
Do you know what, fuck this shit
She said
I’ve had enough of being polite
I really think you’re it
She said
And not just for tonight
Unsaid
Wouldn’t
it save
all
this
fuss
and
bother
If we
were
just
honest
with
each
other?
