Limitations

I’m sorry

I couldn’t comfort you

When that text

Came in

I saw

How you were struggling

To keep it

All within

But I have been there,

You see

And I can’t

Go back again

That’s why I couldn’t

Be the one

To help you

With your pain

At The Steel Mill

I’m glad that we were introduced

And shared a drink or two

It’s been ages since I’ve had a laugh

And danced the whole night through

Yet I’m sorry I also got awkward

When it was time to say goodbye

I just wasn’t sure what to do

About that twinkle in your eye

I talk a very good game you see

And can still flirt up a storm

But when push, inevitably, comes to shove

I’m simply unable to perform

Just So You Know

It was never

Real love

It wasn’t even

Infatuation

You were just a way

To brighten the day

And help offset

My frustration

0

Fingers Crossed

It’s good to see

You’re moving on

It’s just a shame

That it’s with her

I wish you well

Although time will tell

If you will get

What you deserve

Thanks A Lot, Walt

For all your experience

He said

You’re still so fucking naive

I grew up watching fairy tales

She said

So that’s what I was led to believe

Cracking It

I need you

To be nice to me

But also

A little rough too

Because after today

To keep the wolves at bay

Only both of those

Will do

Unlike Some

If I’ve learned one thing

After all these years

It’s that being kind to yourself

Doesn’t end in tears

And something else I’ve learned

From surviving the worst

Is that loving yourself

Never fucking hurts

A Cold Front

If I had the chance

To meet you again

I’d walk away

From day one

To protect myself

From a living hell

I’d say hello

And then be gone

5

Why I Walked Away

They just assumed

I was better

Because they

Had all forgotten

So I’d just pretend

For months on end

As we had

Fuck all left

In common

Lost Voices

I’ve forgotten

What you sound like

Now

And it cuts me

Like a knife

I’m not sure if

I can cope

With such a silence

In my life

Pants Down

We're both
To blame

For this 
Disaster 

Never stopping
To think 

What would
Happen after

They found out
What we did

What was once
Just a fling 

Has now
Fucked up

Everything 
And left us
 
Knee deep
In shit

Easy Tiger

Why don’t we stay?

Drink some beer

Eat our food

Enjoy ourselves here

I’d rather go home

And take you to bed

So we can have fun

In there instead

4

Had We Known

The more

I think

About it now

The more

It’s clear

To me

That we were

Always

Meant to meet

But just never

Destined

To be

False Pretences

Now that it’s all

Said and done

There’s still

One answer

I lack:

Why the fuck

Did you let me

Love you

If you didn’t want

To love me back?

The Illusion

With each day

That passes by

Things become

Less of a blur

Now I know

I don’t miss

You at all

Just who I thought

You were

You Should Tell Him

In order

For things

To go

To plan

You have

To make one

First

No good

Ever comes

From

Putting it off

Just because

You fear

The worst

Fuck My Life

I told myself

I wouldn’t do this again

I’d never put myself

Through all this pain

Yet here I am

Overthinking

It’s no fucking wonder

I feel like drinking

I really should

Have learned by now

No good ever comes

From such nagging self doubt

Now I can but hope

That my brain shuts down

While I circle the drain

And get ready to drown

2

“Oh, I Can’t Control Myself…”

I wonder

If today

Will be the day

You call

To tell me

That you need me

And how you’re aching

For it all

So I’ll sit here

And wait

Making sure

The line is clear

Because yours

Is the only your voice

I am desperate

To hear

“Love at first sight, to me, sounds like suffocation or stalker material.”

Late Night Ponderings

What would it be like

If we met

Would we hit it off

Or just regret

Ever agreeing to a date?

Maybe we should keep

The fantasy

By just staying friends

Digitally

And leave the rest to fate?

0

Volumes

There’s nobody to wake me

Or offer me a drink

No one here to greet me

Or ask me what I think

I always thought I’d be happy

If I was on my own

But I’d never considered

How I’d become so withered

From the silence of being alone

Just Watching TV

I don’t really know

What happened

I’m not sure

Why I cried

Something

Just reminded me

Of how I felt

The day he died

You were amazing

With me

Your words

So soft and kind

Your touch

Helping to soothe me

Drying the tears

From my eyes

I know

That I struggled

To tell you

At the time

Just how much

I loved him

And truly miss

That man of mine

Yet what I’m sorry

I couldn’t say

But really

Wanted to

Is how happy

I know he’d be

To see

That I’ve found you

Lunch Dates

I knew it wouldn’t work

But I said yes anyway

I just needed to prove

That one afternoon

Couldn’t chase

My demons away
