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.

It’s Not Just Me Either
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

You Caused It
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.

Three years on
And although further forward
By the pain of his death
I am still tortured
At A Bedside, Desolate
There
is no

There
are no

My life
continues
to fall apart
at the seams,
As I
lie here
thinking

And
wondering
what the fuck
I’m supposed

Now.

“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
From Each Perspective
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

A Sucker For A Drummer
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

As my

swoons

song
And my

You would simply run
Away and hide

But to quell the beast
I’ve always tried
Hidden
There’s
so much

You

from view
I know you

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

All I

A throwback to those halcyon days

Tell him

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

If you

Do you ever
long to look
into my eyes
And feel

Resignation
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

now I
realise
I’ve
played

And it

Better Than Nothing
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

What was I..?
Ach, don’t mind me,

Go well my friend
Into the night
Through the darkness
To find the light

It’s with a heavy heart
And a mournful sigh
That the time has come
To say our goodbye

For all you have done
For you soothed my pain
And left me with none
