You Reap What You Sow

It was you

Who kicked

This hornet’s nest

So don’t cry

Now you’ve

Got stung

Radio Silence

It’s
not
that I’ll
never
call
you my
friend

It’s
just
that I’ll
never
call
you
again

I’d Have No Problem Saying It Now

Remember when you told me
It was the best show you’d ever seen
That you watched in tears
As your worst fears
Played out on the TV screen

Well, it wasn’t just a show for me
It was exactly how I felt
I lived through those scenes
On the silver screen
And dealt with it all myself

See, you never really understood
You made that abundantly clear
You didn’t sympathise
Let alone empathise
With me at any point that year

So now when I recall you saying
How you cried so selflessly
I know for a fact
It was all just an act
As you lied so effortlessly

What I Should Have Said

Get to fuck

You piece of shit

I will not stand

For any more pish

You think you’re it

But it’s just a front

You’re nothing more

Than a self serving cunt

You’ll Never See Me Again

The best thing that I ever did

Was my own fear to subdue

It may have took me a while

But nothing beats the smile

I now wear in spite of you

Soon

Life
has
been
so much
better
without
all your
bullshit
in it

Now
I know
for sure
that
I’ll soon
be removing
you
from
it

It’s Too Late For This Shit

So many nights stood there with you

With so much forced conversation

When all I wanted to do

Was go home for a brew

And enjoy my hibernation

Let Me Go

Please
just
walk
away
from
me

And
take
yourself
off
home

I
do
not
want
to talk
to you

I
want
to be
alone

It Wasn’t Fun For Me

I will never answer

To you again

As what you called banter

I call pain

Sylvia’s Sister

Maybe I’ll drink until I’m sick

Maybe I’ll dance like a prick

Maybe I’ll smoke ten to the dozen

Maybe I’ll put my head in the oven

Either way one thing is true

It has got fuck all to do with you

When It’s Only You That Sees It

I really don’t mind saying

That I’m actually quite proud of this

As it describes that employee

To an absolute tee

Despite the sweetness she emits

The Bake Sale

Bringing
along
a
flask of
coffee

And
your
frosted
homemade
cake

Doesn’t
make you
any more
likeable

Or any
less

fake

Don’t Say I Didn’t Warn You

You badgered me into talking

As you were oh so concerned

So I opened that can

Then turned and ran

And left you with the worms

So Help Me…

Just
keep
pushing
me

To see
what
it’s
about

Just
don’t
blame
me

When I
finally
lash
out

When Pushed

I actually love sassy me

I just wonder where she went

As I really only see her

At times of hostility and torment

Undefeated

You might
not be
speaking
to me

But I know
you’re
speaking
about me

That
means
I win

‘The Winner Takes It All’

You ignored me for

That whole weekend

Never once looking me

In the eye

As you were so set on

Being their number one

You pretended not

To realise

But I knew full well

What you were doing

As that wasn’t

The only time

You’d been playing those games

For your own gain

Since you first planned

My demise

So I waited

And I watched

And sure enough

You came simpering back

So then I knew

All I had to do

Was to launch

My final attack

Good Enough

So I’m good enough
to speak to today?

Now all your friends
have gone away?

Well I’ll hold my tongue
and try to be nice.

But you’ll find my lenience
comes at a price.

Another Failed Bribe

Please don’t bother

Sending a card

I have no use

For your money

In fact anything you post in

Will be thrown in the bin

As I couldn’t care less, honey

Congratulations

Am I
supposed
to feel
something?

Because
I don’t

Am I
supposed
to thank
you?

Because
I won’t

Neither of us won

The war you waged

Still it makes me smile

To think of you enraged

You

We’re

Used

And we all know why that is, don’t we?

We all know what you stole

Any trust in men

Was taken when

You denied me any control

Don’t Touch Me

People
like me
can never
be loved

It’s something we
won’t allow

People
like me
can never
be loved

We simply don’t
know how

If Pushed

They’re not always

About you, you know

These thoughts

Inside my head

Sometimes

I’m more than capable

Of putting myself first

Instead

As If

What’s
that

I
hear
you
say

Don’t
stand
at your
grave
and
weep

I
wouldn’t
piss
on it

If it
was on
fire

You
fucking
egotistical
creep

Harsh But Fair

If I thought you were capable

Of genuine emotion

Then of course

I would offer to help

But as it is

It’s just crocodile tears

So you can go fuck yourself

Water Off A Duck’s Back

If
you
weep
a little
louder

They
might
hear
you
at the
back

Just
don’t
expect
that
I’ll
listen

As
on me
your
tears
fall
flat

Flogging A Dead Horse

I don’t know why I think

You’d be the same as me

If you were taken to the brink

Of complete insanity

Because you would never feel that way

You are not the same as me

You are far too fucking selfish

And devoid of empathy

The Switch

Why
don’t
you

Swap
places
with me

Sink
to the
depths

That
I have
been

For
if you
were to
suffer

The
way
I do

Perhaps
you
would
feel

The
same
way
too

Putting It Politely

I looked you up

On Facebook

And see you all

Still play that game

Hiding behind

Fake smiles and lies

The pretence

Still the same

Now you’ve heard me say

I walked away

And I’m infinitely glad

I did

As if I had to pose

In any more those photos

I fear by now

I’d have flipped my lid

Picture Perfect

Continue to enjoy

Your sweet little lives

And act as you see fit

I’m just relieved

I no longer suffer

The toxicity that lies

Beneath it

A Day Reclaimed

When asked to describe

The best day of your life

I’m sure you’ve got many replies

When you got married,

The birth of your kids

Or some such equally befitting prize

Well I know that for me

It was when I chose to be free

And told those fuckers I’d never be back

And ever since that time

I’ve been on cloud nine

With no fear of that panic attack

Family Dinners

Can I be arsed with this?

No.

Do I still have to go?

Yes.

Fuck.

‘Just Fucking Leave Me Alone’

How can you sleep at night

She said

Just cutting me off like this

With no problem at all

She said

Despite how you persist

‘Because Enough Is Too Much’

I can explain

If you want to hear it

I don’t have time

For anymore bullshit

The Concequences Of Your Actions

It wouldn’t matter if you said sorry

Or tried hard to make amends

For we may always be

Family

But we’ll never again be friends

The Call That Never Comes (Not That I’d Answer If It Did)

I’m

Zero Tolerance

Having been in this situation

More than once

I made sure to learn from it

So now I immediately

Draw the line

tell
mine

But

To Never Apologising Again

This is how

You made me feel

Pathetic, lonely

And small

It took me far too long

To realise

That this wasn’t love

At all

Apologies

I’m sorry I act like I don’t care,

I’m sorry it seems like I’m rarely there.

I’m sorry it looks like I don’t even try,

I’m sorry that you’ve never see me cry.

I’m sorry I never appear in a hurry,

I’m sorry I always make you worry.

I’m sorry I can’t be who you want me to be.

But most of all I’m just sorry for being me.

Game, Set And Match

And who did win out

In the end?

Well it wasn’t you

Was it my friend

All that effort

To leave me crushed

And yet I walked

Before I was pushed

Match Point

Please,
ignore
me
more and
more
each day.

For you’ll
only
push me
further
away.

Please,
glower
at me
more and
more
each week.

For
I won’t
always
turn
the other
cheek.

Please,
isolate me
more and
more
as time
goes on.

For we’ll
see who is
victorious,
when all is

Highest Scorer

You know why

We ended up here, right?

It’s the only way

To resolve our fight

Now we are free

To call each other names

As we pull no punches

And sidestep the flames

On Fire

Hell

been
a lonely
place.

It’s

The Failed Ultimatum

Remember when you told me

To do this / do that

And you expected

I’d dance to your tune

Well, in reality

Your words fell flat

And to your bullshit

It’s a
mistake
to tell
me what
to do.

Even

People Pleasing

I spent years people pleasing

And it wrecked my mental health

So now I don’t please anyone

Except my fucking self

I’ve Heard It All Before

Just because

What doesn’t kill me

Apparently

Makes me stronger

Doesn’t give you

An excuse

To hurt me

Any longer

Man-Made

I should try to be considerate

And care about people more

Yet anything but belligerence,

It seems,

I was not pre-programmed for

The kindness of others never ceases to amaze me…

Although my inability to replicate it does.

And It Rhymes With Hunt

I was trying to be polite back then

By calling you a ‘loathsome swine’

But since I have reflected

Something more apt springs to mind

(Never) Ending Hostilities

Whoever
told
me to
forgive
you was
wrong

There’s
no way
we can
ever
get
along

For
you
are
just a

The Truce

People mean well

I tell myself

They are mostly just trying their best

It’s not their fault

If they sometimes fall short

So I should give the hostility a rest

Interaction

Give
me a

up

And
I’ll
give
you
two

All
whilst
silently

Whispering
fuck

Special Measures

You may look remorseful now

And you may appear contrite

But let’s see how you act

When I tell them the fact

You nearly killed me that night

On Borrowed Time

You can sit there all you want

My friend

Picking at your thumbs

But you and I know

How this will end

When the day of reckoning comes

Just Enough Justification

That day you decided

To take it all from me

Yet all you actually provided

Was the route to set me free

You Know Nothing

I do not want your pity

Your sympathy is of no use

I care nothing for your tears

As your grief is just an excuse
