“Got A Light..?”

I had no need

To wait and see

Or let it grow

Over time

When we met

I knew

It had always

Been you

And you would, forever,

Be mine

Xxx

If Only She Knew

For everything

She taught me

I really would love

To thank her

But I will never

Speak her name

Without bitterness

And rancour

Either/Or

I could love you

Very much

Or I could love you

Not at all

Either way

I have to say

We would have

A fucking ball

Last Legs

I’m sorry

It’s not

Much fun

For you

Me being

Miserable

And depressed

But just know

I’m doing

The best

I can

With what

Little

I have left

Dead Giveaway

I know

It’s easier

To think

I’m joking

That’s why

I use

That tone

Of voice

But you’ll

Soon see

I just

Wasn’t

Coping

And that

This

Was always

My choice

Opening Up

I just don’t think I can

She said

Because of what happened

To me

We don’t have to do anything

He said

Other than sit here

And breathe

Getting Older

Isn’t this the part

He said

Where we sing, dance,

And make merry?

I’m not really sure

She said

That fun isn’t just

A red herring

Canto 38

You may say

It’s better

To have loved

And lost

Than never to

Have loved

At all

But if what happened 

To me

Happened

To you

You wouldn’t have

The fucking gall

Easy Meat

My brain

Will not stop circling

Like a vulture

Overhead

I can feel it

Fucking worsening

So I may as well

Just play dead

The Helpline Shift

If only

I could help you

I’d be there

In a minute

But since he’s gone

My reserves are done

And my heart

Is no longer in it

With The Fishes

Grief

Is like

An ocean

All vast,

And dark,

And deep

It ebbs

And flows

In waves

Through

Dark nights

And days

Never truly

Going

To sleep

Just For Fun

Why don’t we

Just hit rewind

Go back to another

Place and time

Relive the day

That we first met

And when we didn’t

Hate each other yet

The Parish Notice

Whatever

You’re running

Away from

There is no

Salvation

Here

All you will find

Is what you left

Behind

Still comes through

Loud

And clear

A More Accurate Verse

What happened to

“I’ll make you happy baby,

Just wait and see”

It’s been more like

“Give me an inch baby,

And I’ll take fucking three”

Bitter Clarity

Searching

For the answers

Trying to make it

All make sense

But there’s no peace

Of mind

When all you

Can find

Is the lack

Of recompense

Everything After

Life does go on,

You know

But you’re never

Really

The same

You just

Get good

At doing what

You should

So you can keep on

Playing

The game

In The Trance Tent

Although

I had

A really

Good time

And never once

Felt on

My own

It seems

Despite

Dancing with

A sea of people

I’m still destined

To go home

Alone

Gut Punch

Just as you

Start to think

You can cope

With anything

It comes along

To prove you wrong

And you’re left,

Reeling

Revenge

If only they

Could see us now

It would really

Boil their piss

The fact we’re friends

Having made amends

Really is

The coldest dish

Deep And Meaningless

I’m sorry

If I’m boring

And the conversation

Way too deep

It’s not that I like

Being awake

I’m just too scared

To go to sleep

S(ex)

When

The night is over

And the deed

Is done

I’ll just see

Myself out

Knowing full well

You have won

Bloody Hellfire

It was only

When my fingers

Were well

And truly burnt

That I realised

We were good together

Until we really

Fucking weren’t

Thanks A Lot, Walt

For all your experience

He said

You’re still so fucking naive

I grew up watching fairy tales

She said

So that’s what I was led to believe
