I Won’t Falter

I’ll never be

The bigger person

I won’t take

The higher moral ground

As I know for a fact

Any contrition is an act

And so my rationale is sound

Not Then / Not Now / Not Ever

What will we do when this feud ends?

Just sit around and all be friends?

Forget the hatred and bile that’s been spilled,

And hope our relationships we can rebuild?

Well it’s not for me,

You can count me out.

Of that there can be absolutely no doubt.

Because I will hold onto this grudge forever.

And I want nothing to do with you whatsoever.

Sincerity

If we speak to them

With smiles on our faces

There’s no chance we’ll get back

Into their good graces

We need to show them

Our regrets are huge

Even if that’s only

Half of the truth

Remorse

As we
return
to face
the music

Remember,
this is
no time
for hubris

My Day In Court

You will do it

Again one day

Hurt someone else

In the same way

And when you do

I’ll be there to say

You deserve to hang

Without delay

Criminal

We all
do bad
things
sometimes

Yet not
everyone
is made
to pay

But while
you will
never
admit your
crimes

Just know
the truth
will out
one day

Mistaking Kindness For Desire

I have never spoken

About that night

As to betray him

Would be be unfair

He only hit on me

Because he was ill, you see,

And his ability to judge

Impaired

Indiscretion

It was
what
it was

And
whilst
we
had
fun

Now
it is
what
it is

The
guilt
has
begun

The Concequences Of Your Actions

It wouldn’t matter if you said sorry

Or tried hard to make amends

For we may always be

Family

But we’ll never again be friends

The Call That Never Comes (Not That I’d Answer If It Did)

I’m
sorry
for
what
I did

I’m
sorry
for
what
I said

I’ve
been
an
utter
arsehole

Given
that
he
is
dead

The Truce

People mean well

I tell myself

They are mostly just trying their best

It’s not their fault

If they sometimes fall short

So I should give the hostility a rest

Interaction

Give
me a
thumbs
up

And
I’ll
give
you
two

All
whilst
silently

Whispering
fuck
you

Glutton For Punishment

I tried to forgive you

Once

But I didn’t quite succeed

So I tried to forget you

Twice

But I would never be freed

Promises

I promise myself
never again
every time
and every time
I believe it.

But the truth is
forgetting you is
a promise
I am powerless
to keep.

Divorce

I know you don’t
Want to live with me
But I hope one day
You can forgive me
For all that I
Have done and said
Since the day we met
And after we wed

Love Or Hate

It’s
hard
to
know
which
is
which

When
you
can
be
such
a
bitch

‘Half The World Away’

Life would have been so different

Had you never moved away

We could still be together now

Enjoying every day

But that’s not what happened, is it?

When you fucked off and left

Saying that you needed more

Couldn’t stand to feel oppressed

Well I’m glad things worked out for you

That all your stars aligned

But what I cannot ever forgive

Is that you left me behind

13

Rebuilding

If you could find a way to forgive me

She said

Perhaps that’s where we could start

As I honestly never meant

She said

To be so careless with your heart

#5 The Preacher

Soon our saviour will return

To wash my sins away

So until that time

My only crime

Will be to sit around and pray

21

Holding Grudges

You can bleat on
As much as you like

About how I should
Forget and forgive

But you know
As well as I do

That’ll never happen
As long as we both shall live

23

John 20:23

Forgive and forget

That’s what they say

Be the bigger person

Just walk away

Well I must be cut

From a different cloth

For I’ll never tire

Of unleashing my wroth

30

Peace Time

I have no interest in going back

Or to stroll down memory lane

I just want this war to end

And to move on from all this pain

8

Cut To Pieces

You were the light

To my shade

The sunshine

To my rain

That is why

I can’t forgive you

For causing me

All this pain

14

(Never) Ending Hostilities

Whoever
told
me to
forgive
you was
wrong

There’s
no way
we can
ever
get
along

For
you
are
just a
loathsome
swine

Who’s
not worth
another
second
of my
time

4

At Heart

I
remember
what you
would say

To
hurt
and to
annoy

But I
always
forgave
you

In
the
end

For you
were just
a little
boy

2

How Long?

How long
can you
go on
writing

When
your only
inspiration
is spite?

And now
you’ve had
to start
forgiving

So that
you can
sleep
at night

15

The Bargain

Who knows
when our
time will
come

But I fear
it’s not
just yet

For you
have to
forgive
yourself

And I
have to
forget
