Don’t you want to get better?
No, she politely replied
I think folks would be happier
If I just quietly died
"All my life's buried here, heap earth upon it"
Don’t you want to get better?
No, she politely replied
I think folks would be happier
If I just quietly died
Do you ever miss him?
All the time, she said
Each night I cry
Screaming “why?”
As I lay down
In our bed
Do you ever miss him?
Never once, she said
The second he’d gone
I just moved on
To someone else
Instead
They say
You are
No longer here
But I see you
Clear as day
I hear you
Talking
In your sleep
As I while
The hours away
They want me
To think
It can’t be true
That I’m mad
And must take
A pill
But I know you
Will never leave
And I am not
Mentally ill
Yet another
Young life
Gone too soon
More candles lit
And flowers
Now strewn
Lest we forget
What an impact
It has
When the world
Watches on
But ignores red flags
Ah, you’re still here
He said
So you’ve not popped
Your clogs yet?
It’s not for a lack of trying
She said
But the chance
Has been murder to get
After everything
Was said and done
And all those years
Had passed
I knew
I wasn’t
Your first love
But I was proud
To be your last
Xxx
There's no need
For you
To feel bad
To worry,
Or to fret
It's not like
You're "reminding me"
Because I
Could never forget
As life
Moves on
And time
Goes by
It gnaws
At my soul
Whilst bleeding
Me dry
It really does
Beggar belief
How much
There is
To learn
About grief
You need to try
He said
And find
Some peace
I’ll only get that
She said
When I am
Deceased
I knew as soon
As we touched
All wasn’t
What it seemed
Yet it still hurt
My heart
When I woke
With a start
To realise
It was a dream
I know
That we
Have
Hardly
Spoken
But my
Insides
Are now
Broken
And what
Is left
Merely
A token
Of the
Woman
I used to be
The dead
Of night
Is always
The worst
That’s when
The silence
Really hurts
I’ll never forgive
You for leaving
Not least as I’m
The one left grieving
Xxx
I remember
Driving to see you
In the middle
Of the night
I didn’t want
To talk
I just needed
To feel your might
Because I knew
When you kissed me
You’d wrap your arms
Around me tight
And that you
Would be the one
To make everything
Alright
Xxx
As we have found
Where your body has lain
We hope it heals
Your family’s pain
And though they’ll struggle
To see past the rain
Now you can be
Together again
I clear the table
But leave your plate
Telling myself
You’re just running late
Over
And over again
Nothing
Of what
We had
Remains
As our
Memories
Dance
Between
The flames
The worst is when
All hope is gone
And you know that they
Can’t carry on
When the end is coming
At them hard
And all that’s left
Is wounds and scars
That’s when you wish
They could call it a day
Instead of just watching
Them waste away
It's like now
He's gone
We're missing
The glue
And the bond
Is broken
Between me
And you
The longer I live
With a broken heart
The more I think dying
Was the easier part
From over the hills
And far away
Your spirit calls me
Every day
It doesn’t matter
What you do
Or how many fantasies
You suggest
As nothing can beat
The reality
That plays
Inside my head
I know
What they say
But it’s simply
Not true
Because at the end
Of the day
There’s no one
Like you
It’s not
Just what
It took
From you
But it’s what
Was robbed
From me too
Imprint those times
On your mind
As it won’t be long
Before you find
What you remember
When they’re dead
Is the all pointless
Shit instead
After all
Is said and done
I’m still devastated
That you’re gone
Xxx
Time may heal
But it kills too
I know that now,
Without you
Dealing with loss is hard
He said
Thinking that he’d really tried
It’s not like I lost him
She said
He actually fucking died
I used to be nice
I used to be kind
Then something happened
That changed my mind
Now I’m angry
Now I’m mean
With very little left
In-between
Most of the time
I do quite wells
Smile on my face
Everything swell
But when those tears
Decide to fall
The reality is
There’s fuck all
I can do
To save myself
From drowning
