Beyond The Sheets

It wasn’t because

You were good in bed*

That left an inprint

Inside my head

It was the fact

You were kind

That absolutely

Blew my mind

(*although it did help)

Funny That

I’ve noticed

How you’re kind

He said

And always willing

To help

If you can be that way

With others

He said

Why can’t you be so

To yourself?

Happy Families

I know that this won’t last

She said

As I always end up alone

You could move in with me

He said

And make my house our home

Such A Low Bar

Okay,

So you were nice to me

On occasion,

You were kind

But my impromptu

“I think I love you”

Says more

About my state of mind

All Those Years Ago

I know

That I

Will always

Regret

Not taking

You home

That night

As being

With you

For an hour

Or two

Taught me

What love

Felt like

Insufficient Funds

Each day

With you

Was worth it

All the laughter

And the pain

But the price

I paid

For loving you

Is now I’ll never

Love anyone again

Holding Hands

I didn’t mean

To lie to you

When I said

It would all be alright

I was just clinging

To the hope

That, one day,

It might

I’ll Never Forget

Fuck you

With your

“We didn’t know”

And “if we did we would’ve helped”

Yes,

Yes, you did

You knew

And you watched me struggle

Your hands

Wrapped

Around my neck

As you held me under

Face first

Keep It

I can’t

Be bothered

To work out

What’s mine

When it’s just 

Another

Waste

Of time

Like Torture

I couldn’t think

Of anything worse

Than having to endure

Yet another verse

Reading yours

Is always a pleasure

Yet writing mine

A painful endeavour

Too Complicated

I imagine

That

We should be

Because it’s fun

To think

Things through

Yet I know

With absolute

Certainty

That it

Could never

Be you

“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

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

2

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
