Whispers

Don’t try to sweet talk me

She said

I’ve met your type before

Just come a little closer

He said

And we’ll see who’s the bore

Once Bitten

I’ve dreamt of you before

She said

And I didn’t fall for you then

Well I’m here in real life now

He said

So let me try again

My Mind’s Eye

I found a way

In the end

I put them all in the bin

Now I only wince

If I catch a glimpse

Of those that I keep within

I Can’t Wait

I can’t
wait for
the day

When I
no longer
wince

At
every
glimpse

Of
your
photo

Fit For It

I don’t want a boy

She said

With romantic ideals

I need a man

With balls of steel

The Rescuer

We can
leave
together,

He
said,

I promise
I’ll look
after you.

When
will you
grow up,

She
said,

You poor
misguided
fool.

D Minus

I’m going to have to leave

He said

But please know I tried my best

It’s no problem to me at all

She said

As you’d already failed the test

High Maintenance

I’m not looking for just anyone

For not just anyone will do

It’ll take someone superhuman

To survive what I’ll put them through

Behind Enemy Lines

If only I’d tried harder

I could have fought you more

If only I’d been smarter

I could have won the war

Fade To Black

Pull down the stars

Put out the sun

I’ve had enough

You have won

Master Of None

I wouldn’t worry too much

He said

Not everything can be a hit

I’m still amazed that anything I write

She said

Doesn’t always turn out this shit

Old Hat

You’ve
been
on my
mind
today

More
than
any
other
time

If only
it had
inspired
something
epic

Rather
than this
fucking
awful
rhyme

Whatever You Say

I’m going to be happy today

She said

Push this sadness from my mind

I’ll give you half an hour

He said

And even then that’s being kind

Losing The Will

I can’t think of another ditty

Or come up with a different rhyme

Not when what I write is so shitty

More than half of the time

22

The Project

I’m arrogant and self obsessed

She said

And that will never change

Then I’ll be blessed to see

He said

If you can be re-trained

Ever Hopeful

Crossing
the road
slowly

Ever hopeful
of getting
run over

Leaving
the oven
door open

Ever hopeful
of inhaling
the gas

Drinking
spirits
every day

Ever hopeful
of pickling
the liver

Eating
salted chips
all night

Ever hopeful
of a heart
bypass
