If we could go back
What would you do
Stick around for another
Drink or two?
Or would you leave me
There alone
And find someone else
To walk you home
"All my life's buried here, heap earth upon it"
If we could go back
What would you do
Stick around for another
Drink or two?
Or would you leave me
There alone
And find someone else
To walk you home
You weren’t even worth
Making a mess
Of my shiny red lips
Or that brand new dress
You didn’t deserve
What was underneath
Or to hear me moan
Between the sheets
So now you know
Why I “got the hump”
As you’re home alone
Having fucked things up
And when they all ask
How my evening went
I’ll be sure to tell them
Of my utter torment
Please don’t say it’s over
He said
I won’t believe it
If you do
It’s exactly that lack of backbone
She said
That I hate most
About you
I pray to God
For no leaves on the line
So that nothing derails
This heart of mine
I’m glad
It all
Was good
For you
And that
It worked
Out well
Now I
Will just
Stay here
Alone
Languishing
In hell
Highlands or Islands
Anywhere will do
I’d happily live
In outer space
As long as it’s
With you
You say that I am crazy
And always take things
To extremes
But I know full well
That you lie to me
Even in my dreams
I just don’t understand
He said
Why she would try to tear us apart
Because the cost of true love
She said
Is always someone else’s heart
I’m sorry
For all
The pain
I caused
For those
Emotions
That I
Withheld
You see
I did
Love you
Very much
I just didn’t
Love myself
It was you
Who wanted this
Not me
You who were
Too blind
To see
That we could
Never make
Each other happy
Not while
My heart is chained
And yours
Runs free
I want it like
The book
She said
I need
The fairy tale
I can offer you
He said
A dream or two
But nothing
On that scale
We may never be
The perfect match
Yet you are an itch
I just love to scratch
When I whispered
In your ear
Perhaps it wasn’t
Very clear
I never said
Let’s meet again
In fact I said
Let’s just be friends
If the price
Of love
Is loss
Then I’ll
Just wait
For the sales
Although
We’ve spent
The night
Together
We’ll forever be
Apart
For your body
May well
Have given
Me pleasure
But you’ll
Never have
My heart
The problem with me
Is you
I always knew
That kissing you
Would be
My biggest regret
The problem I saw
Hours before
Either of us
Got into bed
I will do
All I can
Every day
To make you smile
For seeing you happy
However sappy
Just makes everything
Worthwhile
Sometimes
I regret
What I said
And how often
I showed you
The door
As it never seemed
To matter
How your heart
Was shattered
You’d always
Come back
For more
What do you do
When times get tough
And the love you have
Just isn’t enough
When you can’t see a way
Through all this stuff
And you’re both now stranded
In the rough
Having realised that
When all’s said and done
There is no such thing
As a hole in one
With those beautiful eyes
And winning smile
It should be no surprise
We’ll be here a while
Tongue tied
Dead inside
Lying
On my bed of nails
Forever lonely
Seeing true love only
In films
And fairy tales
We don’t have
To decide tonight
We can talk
Again tomorrow
Let’s not allow
The dying light
To lead us both
Back into sorrow
I do have something
To offer you know
As I’m actually
Quite the catch
If you took my hand
You would understand
And there’s no way
You’d ever go back
So tell me exactly
What it is
That she doesn’t understand
How you justify
Your roving eye
And your wandering hand
And I’ll tell you exactly
What it is
That really grinds my gears
How you can sit there
Without a care
Whilst she’s at home in tears
Fuelled by wine
And impure thoughts
I smiled as nature
Took her course
Absence doesn’t make
The heart grow fonder
We just start to yearn
For what’s over yonder
And so we’re presented
With a question to ponder
Exactly which opportunity
Should we squander?
Please
excuse my
awkwardness
I know
I look like
quite the
amateur
I’m just
not sure
of the
etiquette,
yet
Let alone
all of the
vernacular
You do not need
To put me first
And I would never ask you to
But it would be nice
If, once or twice,
You thought of someone
Other than you
Tell me
That you missed me
Even
Just a touch
Because I know
I found
By not
Hanging around
That I missed you
Very much
At your wedding toast
Yesterday
I did not cry one bit
Even when I glanced
Upon your first dance
I held it in
With an iron like grit
For what I wouldn’t do
Is ever tell you
How seeing you so happy
Did hurt
And that, at times,
If just in my mind
I did wish your happy day cursed
