Ominous

I’ve never been one

For writing pretty

As you can probably tell

From this little ditty

Rhubarb

Searching
for
light

Raised
in
darkness

Our
numbers
grow

Despite
the
sparseness

Signs Of Improvement

Things were so hard

For me back then

Every day

My outlook was bleak

And though the worst has passed

I still feel downcast

For at least

One day each week

Not Today

No-one can shield me,
from this pain within.

Nothing can soothe me,
now the rot has set in.

Poignant

Sometimes I

Have nothing to add

No further words

Or updates

This is one

Of those times,

I think,

As when I read this

My heart breaks

Leftovers

A weak and weary
confused mind

An empty and
hollow heart

As bleak as it is,
it is all I have

As my life has
fallen apart

Snow Gates

Every twist and turn

Each up and down

All tell a different story

There really is nothing

To rival these roads

In all their majestic glory

Spare Keys

The idea really

Was never

For you to just come

And go

It was more to ensure

You could open the door

To remove my head

From inside the stove

Abandoned

As I sit here alone

And my tears glisten

I just wish I knew

Someone who’d listen

Out Of My Hands

There wouldn’t be any problem

If I didn’t wake up tomorrow

At least I wouldn’t be in pain

Or suffocating in this sorrow

From Birth

Why is everything so fucking bleak with you

He said

Why can’t you just stop moping around

For my melancholy is lifelong

She said

And no cure can be found

‘Farewell Cheerless Marshes…’

I’m not sure anyone cares

Let alone if anyone reads

Surely there’s better things to do

Than to wade between my weeds

A Gradual Process

With my self care

On the floor

The noose tightens

That little bit more

Beinn Eighe

My heart 
belongs 
to the 
Highlands 

Of 
that 
there 
is no 
doubt 

I
pray
for
the 
day 

I 
drive 
all
that 
way 

And my 
heart 
just 
gives
out

Hanging Around

I know it’s there

In the shed

Waiting for when

I choose death instead

Into The Wind

As my life passes me by

I lose the will to even try

So I raise my hands to the sky

And scream why me, you arsehole, why?

The Ends Of The Earth

I really
cannot
wait to
drive

All
along
that
rugged
coast

To
settle
in those
mountains

And
mourn
who
I miss
the most

Xxx

Fade To Black

Pull down the stars

Put out the sun

I’ve had enough

You have won

‘So Long, And Thanks For All The Fish’

Is
that
all
there
is

Feeling
like
this
forever?

Then
I’ll
just
bow
out
now

And
live
without
the
pressure

The Railway Line

I
shouldn’t
need to
tell you
again

You
must
already
know

I
don’t
want to
be here
anymore

Please
just
let me
go

The Life Raft

Full
of
holes

As
it
rocks

Against
the
shoals

Who Gives A Fuck? (Not Me)

What do I do

Now all hope is gone

And I am left here

On my own

Somehow still alive

But gasping for air

Unable to thrive

Yet unwilling to care

05/04/2020 20

Fear

I’m
going
back
to bed

It’s
not
worth
staying
awake

From
these
thoughts
in my
head

I need a
fucking
break

Air Quality

Time
drags
on

With
impending
doom

As I
search for
a way

Out
of the
gloom

As Yet Undecided

Still
here
trying

Yet
always
crying

Mind
constantly
vying

Between
living
and dying

Let Down

Hope.

The
ultimate
disappointment.

Harsh Truth

It can
be a
hard
lesson
to learn

When
you’re
at the
point of
no return

That
nobody
actually
gives
a shit

Whether
you decide
to stay
or to
end it

Waterfalls

Go on,

Keep crying.

It changes nothing.
