I always knew
That I loved you
But never if
You loved me back
"All my life's buried here, heap earth upon it"
I always knew
That I loved you
But never if
You loved me back
We always knew
This would end one day
That all our feelings
Would fade away
But we didn’t know
How much it would hurt
That we couldn’t see it through
For better or worse
If I knew then
What I know now
I wouldn’t have let you stay
I’d have made sure
You saw the worst of me
And done my best
To push you away
We’re going on a journey
She said
So be sure to pack your case
Maybe if we leave now
He said
The past we can erase
In this instance
I don’t want you to love me
I don’t even want to know your name
I just want you to fuck me
Again
And again
And again
With hungry mouths
And a tangle of limbs
We collide together
To unleash our sins
If I can’t give you
All of my heart
Would you be happy
With just one piece?
You can have the bit
That’s dead to me
And I’ll keep the part
That beats
Sometimes
I wonder
if there
was ever
a me
before
you
Where will we stop
When will this end
How long will you drive me
‘Round the bend
He said that he
Would be back next week
As he packed a bag
And kissed my cheek
I’ll love you forever and ever
Until we’re both cold and blue
Just don’t worry
Your pretty little head
With who else I’ve said this to
We can’t keep doing this
He said
Something has to change
I fear that our dynamic
She said
Is too hard to rearrange
I sit here on the sofa
All alone
With the hope of love
Completely gone
Yet I dare to dream
That perhaps one day
My prince will come
To take the pain away
Who was the worst
Me or you
Does it even matter
Who did what to who
Now we have both
Taken the fall
To still keep score
Really means fuck all
You said
You didn’t want me
So I had no choice
But to move on
If you’d made it clear
How you held me dear
Then your feelings
I wouldn’t have forgone
Do you still think of me, I wonder
Like I still think of you
Or ever since you moved away
Have your feelings gone astray
And now you just make do
I know that you can see me
And what I’m trying to do
How I’m trying to make you jealous
To score more points than you
Yet I know it doesn’t matter
Just how much I boast
Or how many fun time photos
That I consistently post
As even from here it’s clear to see
You’re still far happier without me
If only you’d ask
I would say yes
My undying love
I would confess
Alas it seems
I must somehow
Bide my time
At least for now
You really should know by now
He said
You’ve been around for long enough
I guess I’m just an optimist
She said
And perhaps a tad out of touch
Leaping out of the frying pan
Headlong into the fire
Perhaps at the expense of love
But quenching my desire
Starting again
With eyes wide open
Less of a chance
Hearts will be broken
Even though I’ve lost
And she has won
I know your love
Will never be undone
In your room
I got undressed
As my body took over
And my heart left
I thought I was prepared
For when my body I bared
Albeit I’d be a little jumpy
I just didn’t expect
When you kissed my neck
The road ahead would be so bumpy
Sometimes I wish I’d said yes
All those years ago
Perhaps if I had
It might well have gone bad
But at least now we’d know
If all I had to do
Was tolerate you
Then really
You should’ve just asked
It was when I thought
You wanted more
That I totally
Fucking cracked
So it seems I have
A second chance
Another shot
At potential romance
Problem is
Where to start
How do I open
This Stygian heart
What happens when the music stops
She said
Do we have to go home?
Wherever you end up going
He said
You won’t be going alone
I really thought you loved me
She said
But now I see it was a lie
Why were you so hard on me
He said
I was never a bad guy
I looked you up online
Last night
And was disappointed
With what I found
It seems first loves
Almost certainly are
Best left
In the playground
If ever you need someone
You don’t have to worry
As I’ll be there
Like a shot
Please never question
If you can call me
As I’d rather listen to you
Than not
I should have trusted you
She said
And let you through the wall
I didn’t try hard enough
He said
In fact I didn’t really try at all
Was it you
Or was it me
Who soldiered on
Too blind to see
That it was destined
To end like this
With us both falling
Into the abyss
If we leave things like this
He said
Tell me you won’t self destruct
I can’t make any promises
She said
As my head is completely fucked
I may have said
You were exceptional
But I’m afraid, my dear,
You were never quite
The exception
I’m not who you think I am
She said
There’s been many times I’ve lied
I knew from the moment we met
He said
That this wouldn’t be cut and dried
If you kiss me
Like that again
What happens next
Won’t be my fault
Our settings will be changed
Forever
And won’t be restored
To default
Champagne and strawberries
On the lawn
Pictures of love
So delicately drawn
The heavens open
Colours are blurred
Dreams are halted
And smiles deferred
You had me at goodbye
But lost me at hello
Okay, okay
I’ve heard you say
You never really loved me
Anyway
There’s no need
To rub it in
I was doing better alone
Then you came and messed with my head
So now I’ve got a different set of problems
To think about instead
Not since those heady days
Of Haddaway in ’93
Have I really asked
How long it lasts
And what love means to me
Why the fuck did we start this
He said
When we knew it would have to end
I guess now we’re no longer lovers
She said
We can never be friends
It’s only when you lie
I find
That my pain goes away
But when you tell the truth
I find
I don’t know what to say
We left it all
At La Belle Aurore
So we needn’t say
Any more
I think I could learn to trust you
She said
I’m beginning to find the way
Well, I really cannot tell you
He said
How much that makes my day
There are skeletons in my closet
He said
But nothing complicated
That’s the problem with mine
She said
Most of them are naked
Why should I stay
He said
Because you won’t
Why should I care
She said
Because you don’t
Real love isn’t all poetry
With hearts and fancy flowers
Sometimes it’s just about making do
And putting in the hours
I walked past your house
Every day
But never knocked the door
—–
I watched as you passed
Every day
And always hoped for more
I really tried to love you
He said
But I wasn’t good enough
It’s really not your fault
She said
My exterior is just too tough
You can tell me you don’t think she’s pretty
And that there’s nothing more to say
But I’ve been here before
And can spot a whore
From a thousand miles away
At some point you have to see
He said
It was you who wouldn’t commit
I wasn’t the one who gave up
She said
I just ended it
I know he can’t be mine
She said
But now he’ll never be yours
If only he’d grow a spine
She said
And just choose one of us
Life without you recently
Certainly has been gloomy
Even if my heart is now
That little bit more roomy
I couldn’t care
Any less
If you cared
Any more
For nothing now
Can stop me
From walking
Out this door
This isn’t love
It’s just a habit
No more
And no less
Remember that
Now you’ve led me again
Onto the path of darkness
Who knows how this will end
Last time all that was left
Was sparseness
And we couldn’t even be friends
Go on then pal
Unbutton your flies
Let's see what
You've got tonight
Does that bulge
In your jeans
Really mean
What I think it means
Will you actually have
Enough in there to please
Or are you just
A pretentious tease...
Do you believe in soulmates
He asked
As he lay back in the bed
No
She said, bluntly
Now can we just fuck instead
