‘I’m Waiting For My Man’

Quite a subtle reference here

To a drug I’ve seen

But never taken

I’ve just always known

Being dependence prone

That beast never to awaken


Need(le)

I
need
you
here

Please
come
and
save
me

I
need
to
feel

The
love
you
gave
me

‘Back To Black’

Yet as the sun came out

Last summer

The glue I’d used soon melted

So whatever I felt back then

Didn’t start a trend

Or conclude as well as projected


Out Of The Blue

I woke up with a smile

Today

All the bad feeling

Had gone away

It actually felt

Like it was the start

Of gluing back together

My broken heart

An Outrageous Flirt

Back before

I was heart broken

And became

Such a misery

I was capable

Of having fun

Which I did,

Consistently

This is one

Of many stories

From when I was

The queen of frolicking

To think how I was then

Compared to now

Is quite simply

Astonishing

If I could roll back

The years

And talk

To a younger me

I would tell her

‘Don’t just pick one fella’

And keep living your life

Care free


A Love Quadrangle

It
should
be
me

Said
man
number
one

I’ve
been
here
from
the
start

It
should
be
me

Said
man
number
two

I’d
never
break
her
heart

It
should
be
me

Said
man
number
three

I
see
her
playful
side

Please,
stop
arguing
boys

She
said

You
couldn’t
handle
me if
you
tried!

I Dreamt About Him Last Night

I dreamt about him last night

You know

For only the third time since he died

At least we had fun

In this one

And it was when I woke up I cried


A Heavenly Reunion

What
are
you
doing
here

He
said

I
told
you
not
to
follow

I
couldn’t
take
any
more

She
said

Life

me
hollow

Vast

I’ve always been drawn

To water

Knowing it’s nearby

Is very relaxing

There’s been many a time

It has calmed my mind

And saved me

From fully collapsing


Down By The River

It’s so peaceful here.

Quiet. Serene.

If only the incessant chatter in my head would quieten down,

I might just be able to enjoy it.

I love that you see

Something in me

And I hope one day

That I’ll see it too

But whilst I am trying

There’s no point in denying

That I’m just not as nice

As you


The Bright Side Of My Dark Heart

I’m

It’s Still Theft

You would never just take an item

If it didn’t belong to you

Just because someone

Has since died

It doesn’t make that any less true


Too Big For Your Boots

I’d rather watch them burn

Than see them in your hands

How you even think

You could ever lay claim

I will never understand

Not Spoiling Things

Pretending I was fine

On that trip

Was just something

I needed to do

So I wiped my eyes

And stifled my cries

In the tent

Next door to you


Camping

The warmth of the sun on your face,

The anticipation of a road trip with friends,

The promise of tall tales around the campfire.

It’s the little things that bring the most joy.

The Concequences Of Your Actions

It wouldn’t matter if you said sorry

Or tried hard to make amends

For we may always be

Family

But we’ll never again be friends

I’m

Omnipresent

It has gotten easier

To get out of bed

But life without him

Has not

For there is little relief

From the pain of grief

And that is now my lot


Options

I am amazed, yet again, that I’ve found the courage to get out of bed.

You have no idea how hard it is.

This sustained internal struggle.

The conscious effort required to motivate myself to move.

The strength of belief needed to convince my anxious brain that we can get through the day unscathed.

It’s exhausting.

If only I could return to the naivety of the past.

Travel back to a time when sadness was mere affectation.

Where melancholy was a comforting friend.

And death wasn’t such a viable option.

To Never Apologising Again

This is how

You made me feel

Pathetic, lonely

And small

It took me far too long

To realise

That this wasn’t love

At all


Apologies

I’m sorry I act like I don’t care,

I’m sorry it seems like I’m rarely there.

I’m sorry it looks like I don’t even try,

I’m sorry that you’ve never see me cry.

I’m sorry I never appear in a hurry,

I’m sorry I always make you worry.

I’m sorry I can’t be who you want me to be.

But most of all I’m just sorry for being me.

If only I could make it better

But there is no way that I can

For you have lost her forever

Just the same as I lost my man

hurts
my

To

And
watch

There’s Still Time

Have you thought about moving on

He said

Of starting a life with someone else

It hasn’t even crossed my mind

She said

As I’m more than happy on the shelf


It’s Not The Same Thing

Just think about

What I lost

On the day he died

Then ask yourself

If you were me

When would your tears subside?

“You know, I should just write down all my random thoughts and stuff that happens to me and conversations I have and just add a bunch of he said, she said’s, and get it published…”

– Logan Huntzberger

Author’s Note:
I didn’t steal this idea.
Honestly.

‘You Gave Me A Mountain’

I think that when

I wrote this one

I was trying

Not to be too mean

But believe you me

Nothing was easy

Back

In twenty nineteen


How Are You?

It’s easier to say I’m alright,

Rather then I’m anxious.

It’s easier to say I’m okay,

Rather than I’m outraged.

It’s easier to say I’m better,

Rather than I’m broken.

It’s easier to say I’m good,

Rather than I’m grieving.

It’s easier to say I’m well,

Rather than I’m wasted.

It’s easier to say I’m fine,

Rather than I’m fucked.

Remember you said

You’d love me forever

And you begged me

To let you to stay

Well I’m beginning

To wonder

If that

Was a blunder

And if I should’ve

Walked away


Happier

Perhaps we’d
have been
happier
as strangers,

For never
having met.

Perhaps we’d
have been

With nothing

Well it wasn’t you

Was it my friend

All that effort

To leave me crushed

And yet I walked

Before I was pushed

For you’ll

‘Don’t Fear The Reaper’

That is beyond my cognition

Emerging slowly into the light

As a ghostly apparition

I hear you whisper softly

How it is now your mission

To close the void between us

And put an end to Deaths partition

Of

Is
where

Of

I met him on the Solstice

Many, many moons ago

There amongst the stones I thought

He looks to be in the know

So I asked him that question

The one you see below

But alas, he shook his head and said

‘I just go with the flow’
