The Performance

Oh don’t get me wrong

Their tears will throng

As they stand forlornly

At your grave

But I’ll certainly know

That it’s all for show

As it’s just their face

They’re trying to save

Daughters

I am
so glad

You’re
not here

To
see

What
they’ve
become

Both
bitter and
twisted

Individuals

Who’ve
lost the
love

You
taught
them

I Don’t Even Like Casserole

I remember there was

A lot of this back then

People calling, fawning,

And trying to be my friend

Now I think about it, perhaps,

They just didn’t know what to say

But at the time I recall how much I wished

They’d just stayed the fuck away

Fake Flowers

Your fake
concern
disgusts me

Your false
condolences
knock me sick

If you
really want
to comfort me

Just piss off
and leave me
alone,

Prick

You’re No Saviour

I realise now

Your intentions back then

Were not quite

So well-meaning

All I can hope

Is that some other dope

Doesn’t fall victim

To your scheming

Already Grown Up

Come
with me,
he said,
take my
hand.
I’ll fly us
away to
Neverland.

I’m sorry,
she said,
but there’s
no way
I can.
Please
say that you
understand.

I’d Have No Problem Saying It Now

Remember when you told me
It was the best show you’d ever seen
That you watched in tears
As your worst fears
Played out on the TV screen

Well, it wasn’t just a show for me
It was exactly how I felt
I lived through those scenes
On the silver screen
And dealt with it all myself

See, you never really understood
You made that abundantly clear
You didn’t sympathise
Let alone empathise
With me at any point that year

So now when I recall you saying
How you cried so selflessly
I know for a fact
It was all just an act
As you lied so effortlessly

What I Should Have Said

Get to fuck

You piece of shit

I will not stand

For any more pish

You think you’re it

But it’s just a front

You’re nothing more

Than a self serving cunt

When It’s Only You That Sees It

I really don’t mind saying

That I’m actually quite proud of this

As it describes that employee

To an absolute tee

Despite the sweetness she emits

The Bake Sale

Bringing
along
a
flask of
coffee

And
your
frosted
homemade
cake

Doesn’t
make you
any more
likeable

Or any
less
fucking
fake

Harsh But Fair

If I thought you were capable

Of genuine emotion

Then of course

I would offer to help

But as it is

It’s just crocodile tears

So you can go fuck yourself

Water Off A Duck’s Back

If
you
weep
a little
louder

They
might
hear
you
at the
back

Just
don’t
expect
that
I’ll
listen

As
on me
your
tears
fall
flat

Putting It Politely

I looked you up

On Facebook

And see you all

Still play that game

Hiding behind

Fake smiles and lies

The pretence

Still the same

Now you’ve heard me say

I walked away

And I’m infinitely glad

I did

As if I had to pose

In any more those photos

I fear by now

I’d have flipped my lid

Picture Perfect

Continue to enjoy

Your sweet little lives

And act as you see fit

I’m just relieved

I no longer suffer

The toxicity that lies

Beneath it

Shove Your Angel Cards Up Your Arse

Charlatans and con artists

Preying on the weak

Making a pretty penny

Through their lies and false mystique

It’s not that I don’t ‘get it’

Or couldn’t possibly understand

It’s that their ‘gift’

Is a fucking grift

And, quite frankly, should be banned

Sceptical

You can tell me all you want

That you can hear him

But I’ll never believe it’s true

For if he was talking to anyone

From the ‘other side’

Then it would be me, not you

Xxx

Altered Images

Was it real

Was it true?

Or was it just

My version of you?

Ambiguity

Is
it
real

What
you
see?

Or
is it
just

Your
version
of me?

Artifice

You might be pretty

On the outside

But you’re sure as shit

Ugly within

If only your

Personality

Was as radient

As your skin

A Heart Of Darkness

You can wear

Flowers in your hair

Use your words

So elegantly

But it matters not

I couldn’t care a jot

For you’ll always be ugly

To me

If Mirrors Could Talk

Tell yourself you’re moving on

And they might just start

To believe it

But you and I know

This is all just for show

As you’re still drowning

In shit

Under Duress

So I’m
coming to
your house
today

As it
seems
I have
no choice

But to endure
three hours
of awkward
pretence

And your
fucking
awful
voice

If only
I could
just say
no

Then all
of this
would
end

Instead I’ll
turn up
with a
smile

And fake
being
your best
friend

(Un) Reality TV

Can
you
turn
it
down
please

Or
better
still

Just
switch
it
off

I
can’t
watch
these
pricks

Vie
for
‘fame’

Like
pigs
at
the
trough

On Silent

Don’t bother
to call me

As I’ll just watch
the phone ring

I will not
answer to you

And I’ll never
tell you anything

Fake Flowers

Your fake
concern
disgusts me

Your false

If you

You prick

Tarnished

That ring
you gave
me has
slowly
turned
my finger
green

A more

metaphor
for our
relationship
I have
never seen

Apathy & Deception

How the
fuck am
I going
to get
through
today
when I
can’t even
open my
eyes?

Why the
fuck am
I even
bothering

when
my life
is just
a myriad
of lies?

All Surface, No Meaning

When you died,
My world stopped turning.

When you took your last breath,
My life became meaningless.

As the ongoing battle towards my own death continues,
I’m numb to everything and everyone.

I trudge along…

Feigning my interest,
Forging my desire,
Faking my love.
