"All my life's buried here, heap earth upon it"
Please don’t think,
Darling boy,
That you’re special
In any way
As you were not
The only one
Who saw to me
That day
Sinderella
Is that
really
the time,
he said,
I should
grab my
things
and leave
Well don’t
let me
keep you,
she said,
as I’ve
got others
to please

Did you always love her?
No
Did she always love you?
Yes
Did that change anything?
Absolutely

Did you always love him?

No
Did that change anything?

I cannot imagine
I meant the Jesus
In the title of this piece
As it’s far more likely
To be a Jesús
Who’d make me go weak at the knees
Christ On A Bike
It
truly
is a
wonder
To see
such a
glorious
sight
My
heart
beats
like
thunder
As my
body
sings
with
delight

I cannot continue forever
In fact I’m nearly spent
But there will always others
Who will use this place to vent
‘Want’
An artist for the ages
Your words leave me floored
What else is there to say?
Other than please, give me more

It’s like saying hello
To your oldest friend
But seeing them is conflicting
You enjoy the sting
Of the comfort they bring
But not of the wounds you’re inflicting
Scabs
Picking at these circles
All itchy, bloody and raw
Wondering why
The fuck am I
Doing this shit again for

There is no need
To update this one
The title says it all
Imprisoned
We’d like to think
We all have a choice
But for some their hands tied
Their opinions
They cannot voice
As their rights are being denied

If anything was found
To be written down
They’d hang us both the same
So we must stay indoors
Until the laws
That seek to divide us are changed

Why oh
why can’t
you write
such
poetry
for me?
For our
love is
forbidden
and so
could
never be!

Conversation should be encouraged
As healthy discourse can be great
But when you’re asked to provide
Basic human rights
It should never be a debate
Impasse
How
can
we
ever
put
things
right?
When
you
won’t
accept
you’re
wrong?

Early this morning
Whilst stood on the street
The plumpest wee robin
Landed at my feet
It looked like she’d managed
To escape her cage
And that she was ready
To face winter’s rage
Unfathomable Cruelty
Only I
know why
the caged
bird sings
It’s because
some bastard
clipped it’s
wings
Yet as the
tears rise
and the
anger stings
The bird
knows it’s
just one of
those things

A tale of love
Unrequited,
Ever so sad
Yet I’m secretly
Delighted
To have experienced it.
Otherwise,
How would I have known?

It’s not you
It’s not me
It’s just the way

It is all
Well and good
Spending time
With old friends
Yet it’s always me
Who leaves emptily
When the night
Inevitably ends
Catching Up
It
was
so
good
to see
you
But
now
I’m
glad
you’ve
gone
You
remind
me too
much of
my life
before
And
what
has
since
gone
wrong

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

With romantic ideals
I need a man
With balls of steel

I promise
I’ll look

Protecting yourself
From someone else
Doesn’t make you mean
It just shows that you
In my view
Are great at forward planning
Weak
I really am sorry
I cannot take your weight
For my arms are too broken
From carrying my own

You may well have been dead
Nearly four years to the day
Yet you still have the power
To take my breath away

I found your

my pocket
Now I’ve

read it
I don’t

Even my love poems
It seems
Have a sinister tone
So it’s no wonder
That I’ve spent
So long on my own

Lingering

Lurking

This is
where we
both belong
Hidden

This type of positive sentiment
Is all well and good
But it’s of no use
When you cannot produce
The feelings others say you should

As time goes on
It gets harder
Their behavior to excuse
I’ve drank so many toasts
To so many men now
That I’ve run out of booze
Liars
Let’s
all
raise
our
glasses
And
make a
drunken
toast
To all

cruel

out there
Who

When I think over
These last few years
I really have suffered a lot
So my house may well
Now be up for sale
But my heart definitely is not
Home Sweet Home
They say
you can
never go
home
again
And I’m
starting
to believe
that’s
true
For all
that resides
here now
is a world
of pain
And
far too
many
memories
of you

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

Remove the paracetamol
And hide the razor blades
As I feel like shit
Again today
So you need to take the reins
The Daily Struggle
I went back to bed
Three times today
To try to dream
This pain away
Yet it didn’t work
So now I’m awake
Do I have any choice
But my life to take?

It was definitely you
I saw tonight
And I’ll admit
I took great delight
In walking by
Without a care
Just a smug little smile
And my nose in the air
Arm in arm
With my actual friends
As they’re all I need
In the end
At A Glance
If it
was you
I saw
in that
doorway
tonight
I hope
my presence
gave
you a
fright
And you
realise
now
that
I’m
happy
And
that it’s
just you
I don’t
want
to see

You’re in a safe space here
She said
I’ve helped people like you before
The only reason that worked
She said
Is because they wanted to talk

You
know
nothing

Now fuck
off and
leave me

I only did this style
A handful of times
And reading back
I see why
As it seems
My particular
Stream of consciousness
Reveals nothing
But utter shite
Sick Of It All
I feel
so small
my skin
crawls
with the
itch of a
thousand
years
eyes
bawl
from the
pain
while
all the
time you
laugh
from
behind
the wall
ready to
hurl
your
next
curveball

With jumping in
Feet first
Is that
Both parties
Are unrehearsed
Playing For Time
Calm your jets
Drink your tea
If love will wait
Then so can we
