All that
Worry
And constant
Stress
Never made
Me love you
Any less

"All my life's buried here, heap earth upon it"
All that
Worry
And constant
Stress
Never made
Me love you
Any less
Xxx
Of all
The things
I've known
To be true
I'd say one
Is the spark
Between me
And you
Stay where
You are
And hold
Them tight
For there
Be creatures
That stalk
The night
Not here
She said
Let’s do this
In private
We can’t count,
After all,
On the dead
Staying quiet
Like eager young lovers
We were star-crossed
In paradise, it seemed
But at what cost?
As I lie here
Watching
Him snore
I can’t help
But feel
I’ve been here
Before
As the juice
Runs down
My fingers
Those feelings
Diffuse
Yet the malady
Lingers
I knew as soon
As we touched
All wasn’t
What it seemed
Yet it still hurt
My heart
When I woke
With a start
To realise
It was a dream
I can see
You look
At my beer
So put down
Your book
And get
Over here
Eyes wide
Head turned
Tongue sharp
Fingers burnt
Do you think
It helps
He said
Writing these wry
Little observations
Well, I would
Rather that
She said
Than suffer
Endless conversations
The decision
Was harder
When I thought
People cared
Now I know
They’re indifferent
I’m not
Even scared
I wanted
Your hands
To feel
Like his
To have one
More night
Of unbridled
Bliss
But as soon
As we touched
Let alone
Kissed
I knew
From now on
It would feel
Like this
There’s no need
For anything fancy
Or to reinvent
The wheel
Because it won’t be
What you say to me
But how
You make me feel
I’m glad that I
Went out tonight
And had myself
A jolly old time
I know it didn’t
Set alight
Your social life
But it certainly
Fired up mine
You said it was summer
He said
But all I’ve seen
Is rain
Welcome to the North East
She said
Where two days
Are never the same
I know
That we
Have
Hardly
Spoken
But my
Insides
Are now
Broken
And what
Is left
Merely
A token
Of the
Woman
I used to be
As I sit here
And nurse
My beer
Full of sorrow
And regret
I realise
I’ve never
Loved anyone
As much as
The man
I’ve never met
From the rankest bottom
Of my deepest recess
I hope and I pray
For your utter distress
As there is no way
You could ever contest
Your actions don’t lie
At the heart of this mess
You should get out
For a walk
He said
It’s great
For your mental health
I trust
Your poxy advice
She said
Even less
Than I trust myself
I don’t see
Too much damage
He said
You could get
Yourself on track
From all the shit
I’ve done
She said
There is
No coming back
The dead
Of night
Is always
The worst
That’s when
The silence
Really hurts
In an
Attempt
To convince
Herself
That it really
Was ok
She sat down
With the required
Amount
To eat
Her feelings
Away
I know
You’ll think
I’m stupid
And say
I’m off
My head
But the seeds
Of doubt
Have rooted
And now
I’m filled
With dread
Maybe
I should move
She said
Start again
Somewhere new
It doesn’t matter
Where you go
He said
The guilt
Will follow you
I’ll never forgive
You for leaving
Not least as I’m
The one left grieving
Xxx
I remember
Driving to see you
In the middle
Of the night
I didn’t want
To talk
I just needed
To feel your might
Because I knew
When you kissed me
You’d wrap your arms
Around me tight
And that you
Would be the one
To make everything
Alright
Xxx
As I sit here
In the dark
All alone again
I wonder
If it’s worth it
Living a life
So plain
It would
Perhaps
Be different
If I thought
That anyone
Cared
But an opinion
On my existence
Not a soul
Has aired
So it is back
To my
Conundrum
Do I stay
Or do I go?
Waste away
Amidst
This humdrum
Or just end it now,
You know?
I suppose
I’ve never
Really cared
For people,
Places,
Or things
But just dealt
With the
Endless
Melancholy
That abject
Depression
Brings
We should plan a trip
He said
Pick a place
Somewhere unique
Perhaps in different
Surroundings
We’d get a better
Chance to speak
I’m not really sure
She said
With my future
Looking so bleak
That I will even make
Tomorrow
Let alone
Next week
There’s no need to worry
She said
I’m not quite on the brink
I just needed peace and quiet
So I came up here to think
Well, that is good to hear
He said
As I was getting quite concerned
And when I saw you leaning over
I have to say my stomach churned
I can see how it looked
She said
But you’ll be reassured to know
I didn’t have any real intention
Of actually letting go
Then, if that’s really true
He said
Let’s both just walk back down
I think I’d be far happier
To see you on solid ground
