Ghosts Of The Past

I think it’s unfair

To suggest

I use my childhood

As a shield

When, in fact,

It’s the way they act

That makes me

Unwilling

To yield

“Mine, Yours and The Truth”

When you said

I should leave

I did what

You asked me to do

I used that day

To run away

From everything

I knew

All those years

You took the blame

For me pressing

Self destruct

When, in truth,

It was just an excuse

That I used

To get fucked

Fuck You Very Much

There’s plenty that

I could have said

Even more

I could have done

But you don’t deserve

The satisfaction

Of thinking

That you’ve won

Dying On That Hill

Although you’ve talked

For a while

I’m not sure where

You’re going with this

But if you’re prepared

To take a shot

You’d better make sure

You don’t miss

At Daggers Drawn

As another sun sets

On our argument

My stomach

Is still in bits 

Because of all the things

We could’ve been 

I never thought

That we’d be this

The Heat Of The Moment

I never said 

You weren’t thoughtful

Not conscientious or kind 

It’s just that when I said 

I wish you were dead 

I had other things

On my mind 

Misread

When you said

We’d never

Meet again

I didn’t think

You meant it

Had I known

My text

Would have

That effect

Then I never

Would have

Sent it

Going Without

Yet
I know
I’ll
never be
absolved

For our
friendship
now is
all but
dissolved


New Year’s Eve(n)

Nothing
will
ever be
resolved

Until from
all blame,
I am
absolved

The Ballad Of Boxing Day

Is that it now

He said

Have the bells rung out?

As I cannot eat

Another sprout

Oh shut your face

She said

All you’ve done is moan

You’ll be spending next year

On your own

Pulling The Wool

The worst part

About what happened

Is that your role

Is still unexamined


Capitulation

I’m
now
ready
to walk
away

As you’ve
made it
impossible
for me
to stay

All I
hope
is
that
one day

You
are as
unhappy
as I am
today

An Unscalable Fence

After all that you

Put me through

You think a sorry will suffice

You’ve got no clue

Of what you’d need to do

For me to even think about playing nice


There’s No Excuse

It
didn’t
mean
a thing
back
then

And
it
certainly
doesn’t
now

So
you can
shove
your
apology

Up
your
arse

You
spiteful
little
cow

The Split

This is what, ultimately,

Was the cause of it all

When he’d reached the end

And I needed a friend

It wasn’t her I wanted to call


Not Everybody Hurts The Same

Privacy
is not
allowed,
it seems

When
you’re
trying
to grieve

People
get pissed
off,
it seems

If you don’t
wear your
heart on
your sleeve

Unresolved

You should never go to bed

On an argument

That is what they say

But what do you do

When he always blames you

And you argue every day


‘Turn Away On Your Side…’

Was
I always
wrong

Or was
I sometimes
right

Not that
it matters
anyway

Now I’m
alone at
night

What A Waste

All those petty squabbles you had

The cold shoulders and silent treatment

They all come home to roost,

You know,

When you’re dealing with bereavement


Bedtime Bickering

And
you
accuse
me of
being
flirtatious?

When
your
behaviour
tonight
has been
outrageous!

Highest Scorer

You know why

We ended up here, right?

It’s the only way

To resolve our fight

Now we are free

To call each other names

As we pull no punches

And sidestep the flames


On Fire

Hell
has
been
a lonely
place.

It’s
good
to see
you
down
here.

Nowhere Near Over

You don’t know how I feel

You don’t have a fucking clue

And if you think

We’re in the pink

Then I’ve got news for you

A Done Deal

Do you really hate me

He said

So much that you’d freeze me out

You’ll never see me again

She said

Of that there is no doubt

Scratching

I’m not proud of what I did

Nor am I happy with what I said

But if you had been kinder

And not some whiny fault finder

Then your eyes needn’t have bled

Sleeping On An Argument

I’m not talking to you anymore

She said

You’re being ridiculously petty

If you’d have listened in the first place

He said

We could have been in bed already

Peace Time

I have no interest in going back

Or to stroll down memory lane

I just want this war to end

And to move on from all this pain

Tongue Tied

If I had the words

I would speak them

But you were lucky

I did not

It will always be

My deepest regret

I never gave

As much as I got

A Mutual Feeling

You don’t like me

I don’t like you

So let’s just leave it at that

For anything else

Is irrelevant

You arrogant little twat

Freedom

I couldn’t care

Any less

If you cared

Any more

For nothing now

Can stop me

From walking

Out this door

Missed Call

You’re lucky

I was out just then

And that I didn’t see

Your call

For if I had

I would’ve gone mad

And ended this

Once and for all

Black Letter Days

Are 
you
sure
we're
done
here

He
said

You've
got
nothing
more to
say?

Other
than
shove
those
candles
up your
arse

She
said

Happy
fucking
birthday!
