"All my life's buried here, heap earth upon it"
It would’ve saved a lot of time
She said
Had I walked away long ago
Oh please don’t kid yourself
She said
You’d still have lived a life of woe
‘Should I Stay Or Should I Go’
If
someone
told me
then
How all
this
would
end
I’d pack
a bag
and run
away
And not
even
bother
to pretend

I cannot deny
That there are times
When I imagine the singer in the sack
But mostly the guy
Who really catches my eye
Is the one with the sticks at the back
‘Outlandos d’Amour’
As my
soul
swoons
to his
song
And my
toes
tap to
his
tunes
I
remember
the
romantic
revelry
Of
those
academic
afternoons

If you were to see
Who I am inside
You would simply run
Away and hide
It’s not as though
I have ever lied
But to quell the beast
I’ve always tried
Hidden
There’s
so much
of me
You
never
see
So many
things
I do
That are
hidden
from view
I know you
won’t believe
it’s true
But it’s
my way of
protecting you

If you’re worried who’ll win
In the end
Then you absolutely needn’t be
For it may look like I haver
But I would wager
That she’s still far more troubled than me
Let
I let
myself
down
today
When I
let you
inside
my head
I wish
I could
just let
you go
And
enjoy
my life
instead

I may spend time lying down
But not much of that is sleeping
It’s existential dread
That fills my head
And that’s not to mention the weeping
Forty Winks
Why do
I bother
coming
to bed
It’s not
like I
can
sleep
All I
do is
fucking
lie here
Overthinking
and
counting
sheep

Betraying my classical education, perhaps,
With a title such as this
A throwback to those halcyon days
When it wasn’t all just shit and piss
Conversations With Hades
Tell him
this pill is
too bitter
to swallow
Tell him
we still
have time
to borrow
Tell him
I’ll never
cope with
the sorrow
Tell him if
he takes you
to expect
me tomorrow

It’s only hypothetical
Because too much time has passed
Though I’m pretty sure
If I wanted more
You’d say yes, if asked
Hypothetically Speaking
Do you
ever think
of me
In those
moments
you have spare
Do you
ever
dream
Of running
your fingers
through my hair
Do you ever
imagine how
it would feel
If you
held your
hand in mine
Do you ever
long to look
into my eyes
And feel
our souls
entwine

What can you do
When you’ve been mistaken
When you realise your life
You have forsaken
When you can’t go back
And start again
When it’s only regret
That does now remain
Double Take
It’s only
now I
realise
I’ve
played
this all
wrong
And it
actually
should
have
been
you all
along

I used to think
When I was a kid
I can’t wait to live by myself
I will do
Whatever I want
Take my opportunity to rebel
But there’s another side
To living alone
When you no longer have another
To share your home
What I never envisaged
All those years ago
Was that my only company now
Would be the radio
Home Alone
It’s Friday night
And I’m here alone
In this house
We used to call home
There’s nothing left now
Just an empty shell
With only me here
Living through hell

It was the last round
Music, of course
When I’d already sunk a few
But it was my knowledge
Of old Liverpudlian Soul
That really pulled us through
The Pub Quiz
What was I saying?
What was I..?
Ach, don’t mind me,
I’m drunk.
*Hic*.

Go well my friend
Into the night
Through the darkness
To find the light
The Trade Off
It’s with a heavy heart
And a mournful sigh
That the time has come
To say our goodbye
I’m eternally grateful
For all you have done
For you soothed my pain
And left me with none

To be fair
I have gotten better
I can look at a photo
Or read a letter
But I find it best
Not to get too immersed
Because, after all,
It still fucking hurts
Wall Art
I can’t
look at
your
photos
anymore
They make
my heart
too heavy
and my eyes
too sore

I still don’t really understand
Why I was left feeling so at sea
As I was always the one
Who steadied our ship
It’s not like you ever looked after me
Without You
Life
is just
shit
without
you
I’ve got
nothing
left to
hold
on to
If
only
you were
still
here
Then I’d
have
nothing
left
to fear

Once, I thought
I had no choice
But my innermost feeling to hide
But now I know
That given room to grow
I can wear my scars with pride
Another Notch
A
little
nick
here
A
little
cut
there
It
doesn’t
hurt
anymore
Not
that
I’d

There’s nothing else to know
Sometimes there’s no big mystery
She said
It is just my truth on show
Bleak As Fuck
I
told you
a lie
yesterday
I said
I felt better
and that
I’m okay
When the
actual truth
is I hope
and pray
That I

Of

My mind is too conflicted
I completely understand
She said
This day I predicted
All My Fault
If there was
another way
of dealing
with this shit
I wish
now that
I could’ve
chosen it
Then I
wouldn’t have
relied so
much on you
And your
heart wouldn’t
also be torn
in two

You really have to stop hoping

That all of this will end
To think you’ll ever be free

Really is madness my friend
Sunrise
I woke
up crying
again today
So much so
I struggled
to breathe
How much

I endure this?
When is
there an end
to this grief

It’s nowhere near enough
The Trouble With Juniper
Nobody

the

I’ve seen
The loves

in-between
On one
too many

I have

To keep
all of my

Modern medicine hasn’t helped
She said
No pill or therapy
Then you’ve done the right thing
It said
By coming to talk to me
Witchcraft
I thought
talking
would make
it easier
But if
anything
it’s made
it worse
It seems
there is
nothing
I can do
To rid
myself
of this
curse

No longer will we be
All small and meek
We will approach you

We seek

She never did see it
And now you’re apart
You have been left
With wounds that smart
If only you’d listened
To my remark
You could’ve saved yourself
The broken heart
You Deserve More
I wish you
could see
yourself with a
different view
And know
there are so
many things to
love about you
My only hope
is that she
will see it
again soon too
Then perhaps
you could both
just stop
making do

I used to care
About the truth
That the world should know
About my abuse
But I’m a better person now
Than those liars and frauds
So I’ll happily stay quiet
About my in laws
The Silver Medal
This
was
hardly
a fair
fight
And
we
both
know
who
rightfully
won
Yet
I’ll
step
graciously
aside

As
one
day
the
truth
will
come

I can actually remember this
Like it was yesterday
That night when I
Had had enough
And finally walked away
A New Dawn
Everything
changed
when I
walked out
of there
The feel of
the breeze
and the
warmth
of the air
For once
in my life
I just
stopped
fighting
And I
suddenly
found life
much more
inviting

Grief doesn’t come with a manual
And neither, you’ll find, does life
So you just have to go on
Now they’re gone
And hope that you stay alive
NUMB
I
didn’t

It
would
be
like
this
Whatever

“And so, I checked all the registered historical facts
And I was shocked into shame to discover
How I’m the 18th pale descendant
Of some old queen or other”
‘Tis better to be lowly born,
And range with humble livers in content,
Than to be perked up in a glist’ring grief,
And wear a golden sorrow.’
Henry VIII: Act II Scene III
Are you sure that you’re done
She said
You’re not even up for a fling?
I am absolutely sure
He said
I’m no longer ‘up’ for anything
A Solo Affair
I’m fine
by myself
without
all of
that
Just me
here
alone
in my
own flat
I don’t
need to
feel anyone
else’s
touch
As frankly
I never
really
liked it
much

Best thing I ever did
Was to cut you dead
Not just out of my life
But also out of my head
Done
Fuck you,
And your pathetic little smile.
Fuck you,
And your supercilious bile.
Fuck you,
And your disingenuous chatter.
Fuck you,
For you no longer matter,
At all,
To me.

I can clearly remember
Their wedding day
All of that promise
On display
It’s such a shame
It ended that way
And now love’s young dream
Has faded away
The(ir) Split
It’s
not
about
what
she
did
Or
what
he did
either
to be
fair
It’s
about
how
it has
made
me feel
As for
the
rest
I could
not
care

Especially now
The weather is turning
I wish our home fires
Were still burning
Slippers
I
miss
you
When
my
feet
are
cold
And
how
you
Would
always
warm
them
so
