"All my life's buried here, heap earth upon it"
It’s funny how
To bookish types
I certainly was once attracted
Whereas now I’m older
I’ve no time for the smoulder
And need something far less protracted
Timerous Beasties
When
I picture
my
youth
I see
you
and
me
Sitting
beneath
that old
oak tree
You
reading
a book
My
head
on your
shoulder
Both
of us
hoping
The
other
is
bolder

I have never spoken
About that night
As to betray him
Would be be unfair
He only hit on me
Because he was ill, you see,
And his ability to judge
Impaired
Indiscretion
It was
what
it was
And
whilst
we
had
fun
Now
it is
what
it is
The
guilt
has
begun

You know what they say
Doesn’t ring true
Yet upon it
You are told to rely
All those stories
Retelling past glories
But you’re not allowed to question why
What I’ve always wondered
Is who decided
Which one
Was the most hallowed
For I know
I needn’t look
To a fictional book
To guide me on moral code
False Gods
Will
it
always
be like
this
She
said
Don’t
I deserve
a reprieve?
That all
depends
on the
book
He
said
In
which
you
choose
to believe

After spending seven hours today
Sitting on a train
As I lie here
I’m starting to fear
That I may never sleep again
The Sleeping Tablet
Thankfully,
tiredness
descends.
As upon
sleep,
sanity
depends.

Some have beauty
Some have braun
Some have charm and flair
Some of them even
Have half a brain
But to you they never compare
First Sight
It
was
clear
to me
The
moment
we met
That
you’d
be the
one
I’d
least
regret

When I think of all
Those hours I lost
Feigning my interest
I realise now
How much getting out
Really was for the best
Just Me, Myself & I
Spending
another
day at
home in
reflective
solitude
Was
better
than
seeing
you and
your shitty
attitude

It doesn’t matter
Who I ask
No one can answer me
So three years in
It’s time to begin
Living independently
?
What did I do
to deserve this?
Why did this
happen to me?
Where will
I end up now?
Who is coming
to save me?

I’m not sure
If it was the booze
Or all the tablets
I was taking
But, ultimately,
I was pretty lucky
To survive all my (bad)
Decision making
Drunk
Looking in
the mirror
gives me
a fright,
But I think
I had a
good time
last night.
I don’t
remember
much or how
I got home,
So thank
fuck I’ve
woken up
alone.

I know it seems
Like I’m really evil
Always ranting and raving
And wishing ill on people
But, honestly, my poetry
Is just an outlet
I think you’d quite like me, actually,
If we ever met
Best Wishes
Enjoy
your
cake
You fat
fucking
snake
I hope
you
choke
and
die
Don’t
mind
me
As I
drink
my
tea
And
watch
the
world
go by

I’m not usually very good
With metaphors
But this one is pretty neat
Then I guess it would be
As it was conceived
While in the back seat of a Mini
Car Trouble
Nothing makes this better
Everything makes it worse
A body straining in first gear
But a mind stuck in reverse

I’ve never been easy company
People like me rarely are
But well done for persevering
For that you are a star
Misled
You say
it’s not me,
it’s you.
But
you’re
a liar,
And we
both know
that’s true.

I thought it was just me
Back then
But now I know I’m just one of many
Death affects everyone
As we all feel loss, innately
Only You
With my
heart
in my
mouth
And my
head
in my
hands
It saddens
me to realise
That no one
understands

I’d love to say
That two years on
That I have cleaned up my act
But from what I suffered
My body never recovered
And my mind will always be cracked
Old Habits
As my
veins
drip
with
chip
fat
And
my
lungs
marinate
in
tar
I
wonder
if,
perhaps
this
time,
I’ve
taken
things
too
far

It’s never too far away
That shadow
I see it from the corner
Of my eye
An ever present reminder
Of what we lost
And when we had
To say goodbye
Mourning
Darkness
casts a
shadow
over my
head
As it
does
over
my
heart
Thoughts
and
dreams
of you
abound
As does
sorrow
that
we’d to
part

There is no going back
There are no more simpler times
Now I just have to accept
That you’ll never again be mine
Undo
Can we go back
To a simpler time
When I was yours
And you were mine?
(Originally Posted 27.09.2020)
I’ve been around
For far too long
To fall for your crocodile tears
So go try them out
On someone else
Before their patience also disappears
Waterfalls
Go on,
Keep crying.
It changes nothing.

There’s one in every office
Whose presence elicits a grimace
And in mine it’s you
Who never ceases to
Push me to my limits
The Irritant
It actually
hurts to
listen to you
Let alone
look you
in the eye
Please just
leave me
alone
For I have
bigger fish
to fry

When everyone else
Thought the worst
I stayed with you
Your pain I nursed
Yet when things changed
And they turned on me
You hung me out
For all to see
That is really
What hurt the most
Although I’d helped you
And remained so close
You joined in with them
And betrayed me
Never once repaying
My courtesy
So that’s why now
All is said and done
I’m more than happy
Calling you a cunt
The Better Person
I loved you,
When no one else did.
Remember that.
(Originally Posted 26.09.2019)
I realise now
Your intentions back then
Were not quite
So well-meaning
All I can hope
Is that some other dope
Doesn’t fall victim
To your scheming
Already Grown Up
Come
with me,
he said,
take my
hand.
I’ll fly us
away to
Neverland.
I’m sorry,
she said,
but there’s
no way
I can.
Please
say that you
understand.

It’s not my fault
If you’re offended
By what I say or how I say it
It isn’t my job
To hide the truth
It’s my responsibility to display it
Sugar Coating
Don’t
want
the
truth?
Then
don’t
ask
me.
I
will
not
lie,
To
protect
your
sanity.

I can only hope
I find some worth in it
Given that you charge
50p a minute
Helpline
On the
day I
summon
the courage
to call
I know
you’ll be
there to
break
my fall

Seriously
They said
Do you have to be so fucking dramatic
One day you will feel the same
She said
When you experience something as tragic
The Double Bed
It’s been so quiet
Since you left
All I hear
Is my own breath
As I lie here alone
And wait for death

I went out a lot
In twenty nineteen
To live,
To laugh,
And to everything in-between
The Shot Glass
Drink,
drink,
and drink
again.
You know
that I’m
your only
friend.

Three years on
And although further forward
By the pain of his death
I am still tortured
At A Bedside, Desolate
There
is no
more
hope.
There
are no
more
dreams.
My life
continues
to fall apart
at the seams,
As I
lie here
thinking
of you.
And
wondering
what the fuck
I’m supposed
to do,
Now.

That I ever thought
Those pills would work
Is actually quite preposterous

To my cost
That the pit of my stomach is bottomless
Prescription For A Broken Heart
I took
the first
one this
morning
The rest
won’t be
hard to
swallow
Soon
my belly

full
And I’ll

‘And every time I scratch my nails down someone else’s back I hope you feel it.
Well, can you feel it?’
“Some kill their love when they are young,
And some when they are old;
Some strangle with the hands of Lust,
Some with the hands of Gold:
The kindest use a knife, because
The dead so soon grow cold.”
– Oscar Wilde
I was just trying
He said
To force your hand
I never wanted to leave
I didn’t want to lose face
She said
Or wear my heart
On my sleeve
We just wish
They said
You’d told us the truth
Instead of making us believe
That you wanted to be with us
They said
When all that time
We were being decieved
Concequences
You said
you wanted
to leave
And I
didn’t ask
you to stay
So now
we lie to
someone else
And that’s
the price
we pay
(Originally Posted 23.08.2019)
It wasn’t that
I wanted to stop
But I was scared that we’d get caught
That’s why I knew
What I had to do
Even though it left us distraught
Condensation
As the
wind
rattles
the
window
pane
I
wonder
if it’s
cold
where
you are
Or are
you
now
just
over
heating
In
somebody
else’s
car
