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

The nights

And days

But never truly

Goes

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”

2

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

2

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

Unlike Some

If I’ve learned one thing

After all these years

It’s that being kind to yourself

Doesn’t end in tears

And something else I’ve learned

From surviving the worst

Is that loving yourself

Never fucking hurts

A Cold Front

If I had the chance

To meet you again

I’d walk away

From day one

To protect myself

From a living hell

I’d say hello

And then be gone

5

You Should Tell Him

In order

For things

To go

To plan

You have

To make one

First

No good

Ever comes

From

Putting it off

Just because

You fear

The worst

Volumes

There’s nobody to wake me

Or offer me a drink

No one here to greet me

Or ask me what I think

I always thought I’d be happy

If I was on my own

But I’d never considered

How I’d become so withered

From the silence of being alone

Ten Years Too Late

If only you

Could see me now

I’m sure

That you’d be proud

I think you’d agree

I’m as I should be

And you’d say you love me

Out loud

For The Best

As wonderful

As one night may seem

I simply can’t agree

To such a scheme

As being with you

Even for a minute

Would leave a pile of shit

And me knee deep in it

Going, Going, Gone…

If only you could wait

She said

I’d make it worth your while 

As much as that appeals

He said

Hanging around just ain’t my style

0

Reassurance

All it really needed

Was for you to take my hand

To whisper to me, sweetly

And to say you understand

Detatched

I did

What you wanted

I took you

To the brink

But you

Should know

That down below

I never

Felt a thing
