A tale of love
Unrequited,
Ever so sad
Yet I’m secretly
Delighted
To have experienced it.
Otherwise,
How would I have known?
‘You Can’t Always Get What You Want’
It’s not you
It’s not me
It’s just the way
It has to be

“Loved Up / Doved Up”
It was so much easier
Back then
As we fell in love
With our friends
Now don’t get me wrong
The drugs played a part
But we were also more open
To sharing our hearts
Love In The 90’s
No one could wear
A band t-shirt like you
With your longer hair
And grey cardigan too
That smile so shy
Those Doc Marten boots
It is no wonder why
We were in such cahoots

I don’t want a boy
She said
With romantic ideals
I need a man
With balls of steel
The Rescuer
We can
leave
together,
He
said,
I promise
I’ll look
after you.
When
will you
grow up,
She
said,
You poor

Where’s Your Ro(man)ce?
Even my love poems
It seems
Have a sinister tone
So it’s no wonder
That I’ve spent
So long on my own
Achilles H(eel)
Lingering
on the
ocean floor
Lurking
in the
starkness
This is
where we
both belong
Hidden
amongst
the darkness

I’m going to have to leave
He said
But please know I tried my best
It’s no problem to me at all
She said
As you’d already failed the test
High Maintenance
I’m not looking for just anyone
For not just anyone will do
It’ll take someone superhuman
To survive what I’ll put them through

The problem

So Much To Give
There I was
Worried you would leave
But I’ve been granted
A reprieve
I shouldn’t ever have doubted
Your ability
To be broken hearted
And yet still love me
No Matter What?
How
long
will
you
Be
here
for
me
When
your
own
tradegy
strikes
What
will
happen
To
our
love
When

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

No Hard Feelings
It wasn’t our time
Nor was it the place
But I’ll never forget
Your sweet embrace
The Reference
When it is
I see
Her next
I’ll be sure
To let
Her know
How you’re
Passionate,
Funny
And kind
And how
It hurts
To let
You go

Well I know exactly
What I think of you
All blotchy and balding
At forty two
Now I’m glad we split
At our old school gates
Back when I was seven
And you were eight
High School Reunions
I
wonder
what
You’d
think
of me
now
Fat,
forty
and
fucked
Would
you
still
love me
forever
Want
to be
together
whatever
Or be
thankful
for the
life
you
ducked

This is what can happen
When you go into these things blind
Not only do they
Abuse your body
But they also fuck with your mind
Obviously Oblivious

look
what
you’ve
done

You’ve
gone
and
broken

It would be you
Who’d be the one
To drop my hand
Me & You
Watch
me
and
you’ll

Touch

Tell

you’ll
feel

Hold

don’t

Too Late Now
I don’t know how it’s happened
And I can’t even tell you why
But, it seems, I’ve grown old
In love with the wrong fucking guy
Set In Stone
Neither of

we chose
Will work out

After all
That playful promise
It is time for me
To be brutally honest
I’m glad we tried it
In the sack
But I’m leaving now
And I won’t be back
Closing Time
If a
nod
Is as
good
As a

Then
me
and
you
Should

And
finally
put
This
flirtatious

Between
us
both
To

Love’s young dream
I mean you put in the graft
And it did make me laugh
But you’d never have made me scream

As you don’t seem
To get it
I’ll explain it again
Real quick
It wasn’t your love
I wanted
It was merely your…

Chance Would Be A Fine Thing
I sound like such a strumpet
In some of these lines I write
But I can promise you
The actual truth
Is that I am alone most nights
Rolling In The Hay

Looking

I’d Never See You Again
If I revealed
The truth about me
It would shatter the illusion
Now, I know you’d say
You wouldn’t care anyway
But I couldn’t deal with the conclusion
For Our Own Good
You never
see the
worst of
my illness
because
I hide it
from you
For you
to know
the truth
about me
would
completely
tear me
in two
So I’ll
paint
on a
smile and
pretend
that I’m
fine
For
doing so

both
your
sanity

Not that I

It was always just
You reminded me
That there would be other
Fish in the sea
Indebted
Thank

much
for
being

Otherwise
I’d still
be wandering
around
without

Waiting
for

not to
feel
so blue
And
hoping
to find

that’s

Number two
You look like
You might do
And you standing
At the back
It seems like you
Could be good craic
I’ll also have you
Number seven
With your cheekbones
Straight from heaven
And lastly you
Against the door
I feel you could offer
Me a little more
So all of you please
Step to my boudoir
And we’ll see who gets
To baise moi, ce soir

My answer would always be no
For it doesn’t matter
How much you flatter
I’d never again stoop so low
The Hopeless Romantic
You’ll
never

one for

So why
can’t I
just

Why do

When

But what you get on a plate
I can’t replicate
So at least now, I know
Undeserving
I’ll
never

in love
again
Not
that
I ever
wanted
to be
Love is
for those
with
delicate
souls
And
not
for the

And not fallen foul

Perhaps our relationship now
Wouldn’t be past tense
And I wouldn’t still feel
These splinters from the fence
Just Passing By
It was you
That was
The one
For me
But a future
Between us
I just
Couldn’t see
I suppose
That now
None of that
Matters
For you’ve
Moved on

You were
Never destined

You were fun
So it’s good
That we dropped it
And eventually
Just stopped it
As no real harm

In Another Life, Perhaps
What

Must

The Second Time Around
The first time
It was fine
As I was young and naive
I didn’t know
Where it would go
So it was easy to just believe
But now I’m older
And my heart colder
I need to be assured
That you intend
To keep up your end
Before my commitment is secured
Going Down The Rabbit Hole
If you don’t mean what you say,
Perhaps we should both just walk away.
Now.

Clear Cut
To be fair
If you did
I wouldn’t need
To confess
As it radiates
From me
Like stale beer
And cigarettes
Emptiness
At one time
perhaps
I would have
said yes
But the
desire now
I no longer
possess
Should you
ever try
your love
to profess
To this
emptiness
inside I
would confess
