"All my life's buried here, heap earth upon it"
I hear her calling my name,
Luring me to the murky depths.
Her song, beckons me.
Her promise, tantalises me.
I am compelled to listen.
I am urged to respond.
But she is all the way out at sea,
And I never learned to swim.

Should
we
accidentally
meet
On that
busy,
bustling
street
Would
the birds
above us
tweet
As our
hearts
skip a
beat?
Or would I just blether on a whole heap of shite because I’m clinically depressed and unable to formulate a meaningful conversation with anyone of the opposite sex since my partner died so you just give up trying to listen and walk away thinking who the fuck was that lunatic and happily go about the rest of your life whilst I retreat back to my house wondering why the fuck I even bothered going out in the first fucking place?
Was it you
That was
The one
For me
But a future
Between us
I just
Could not see
I suppose
That now
None of that
Even matters
For you’ve
Moved on
While I’m left
In tatters
There’s
nothing
more
disheartening
That
brings
such
misery
and
strife
To
find
I’m
much
more
captivating
On
the
page
Than
in
real
life
Are
we
here
now
She
said
Away
from
all
that
shit?
I’m
not
sure
He
said
Let’s
make
a run
for it
You
lusted
over
the
fantasy
But got
lumbered
with
me
instead
Poor
you
Is
it
real
What
you
see?
Or
is it
just
Your
version
of me?
You
ethereal
soulsLeave
nothing
but holesIn the
hearts of
heathensLike
me
I wandered lonely as a cloud
Screaming the words fuck you out loud
As, like the night, she walked in beauty
I wished someone would just come along and shoot me
As I, in the wood, took the road less travelled
I sat and cried as my mind unravelled
And as we talked between the rooms
I closed my eyes and succumbed to the fumes
I should
have been
more careful
with what
I wished forBecause
I never
wanted it
to end like
this at all
In a perfect world,
There is someone for everyone.
You meet each other.
You fall in love.
And you stay together,
Forever.
Ours, however, is a cruel world.
There is someone for everyone,
But you might never meet them.
You might never fall in love.
And you might not stay together,
Forever.
Because they might die,
Before you do.
Then, you’re fucked.
