Happy Valentine’s Day
He said
Here’s a teddy
And some flowers
I’d rather go without
She said
Than have to sit with you
For hours
"All my life's buried here, heap earth upon it"
Happy Valentine’s Day
He said
Here’s a teddy
And some flowers
I’d rather go without
She said
Than have to sit with you
For hours
You have
To ask him
She said
Otherwise,
You’ll never know
But I think
I’d just die
She said
When he says
Inevitably, no
Why don’t you just start small
He said
Take baby step, or two
Because to act like I’m over him
She said
Couldn’t be further from the truth
I don’t think I can do it
She said
I’m just too fucking scared
It’s the only way I can see
He said
For your heart to be repaired
I’m really looking forward
He said
To getting you
Under the covers
Don’t get too excited
She said
As it’s not like
We’ll be lovers
Why don’t
We leave now
He said
Let’s get a bus,
Taxi or walk
We won’t
Be having sex
She said
But I’d love it
If we could talk
What do we have here?
He said
Hand snaking
Towards his crotch
I really can’t be arsed
She said
So I’ll just sit here
And watch
I just thought
I’d call
He said
To check
That you’re ok
You are
So very kind
She said
To care for me
That way
I’ll also ask
While I’m on
He said
If there’s anything
I can do?
I’m sure
I’ll be fine
She said
To me this
Is nothing new
What is life
He said
Without a little risk?
There’s testing the limit
She said
And then taking the piss
You seem to spend more time
Smiling
He said
Than you ever did
Before
I’ve just gotten better
At hiding
She said
So you won’t ask me
Anymore
Fancy coming up
He said
For a night
Of unbridled bliss?
I shouldn’t think so pal
She said
After all,
I’ve heard you piss!
Are you some kind of freak
He said
When someone pees
You listen in?
It honestly can’t be helped
She said
These walls
Are paper thin!
You could try
A little harder
He said
And not be afraid
To commit
Why would I
Even bother
She said
When your heart’s
Not even in it
Ah, you’re still here
He said
So you’ve not popped
Your clogs yet?
It’s not for a lack of trying
She said
But the chance
Has been murder to get
Is there another way
She asked
To cure my ills?
I’d have no problem
Taking the pills
If there was something
He said
To advise, I would
But no pill out there
Would do you any good
What are you saying
She asked
I’m devoid of hope?
All that’s left
Is to sit around and mope?
What I mean
He said
Is given your pain
The only way forward
Is to rewire your brain
Thank fuck
She said
I’m getting away
I couldn’t take it
Another day
I’m so happy
He said
You’re visiting me
As I’ll help you forget,
Easily
You need to try
He said
And find
Some peace
I’ll only get that
She said
When I am
Deceased
You should get out
For a walk
He said
It’s great
For your mental health
I trust
Your poxy advice
She said
Even less
Than I trust myself
I don’t see
Too much damage
He said
You could get
Yourself on track
From all the shit
I’ve done
She said
There is
No coming back
Maybe
I should move
She said
Start again
Somewhere new
It doesn’t matter
Where you go
He said
The guilt
Will follow you
We should plan a trip
He said
Pick a place
Somewhere unique
Perhaps in different
Surroundings
We’d get a better
Chance to speak
I’m not really sure
She said
With my future
Looking so bleak
That I will even make
Tomorrow
Let alone
Next week
There’s no need to worry
She said
I’m not quite on the brink
I just needed peace and quiet
So I came up here to think
Well, that is good to hear
He said
As I was getting quite concerned
And when I saw you leaning over
I have to say my stomach churned
I can see how it looked
She said
But you’ll be reassured to know
I didn’t have any real intention
Of actually letting go
Then, if that’s really true
He said
Let’s both just walk back down
I think I’d be far happier
To see you on solid ground
I am always here
He said
If you ever want
To talk
We could sit
And have a coffee
He said
Or go out
For a walk
Thank you
For the offer
She said
But I’d really
Rather not
If I start taking now
She said
I don’t think
I’d ever stop
As much as we had fun
She said
I am never
Drinking again
What on earth were we thinking
He said
Mixing grape
And grain
I need time
To think it through
She said
It’s not that cut
And dried
Well you need
To hurry up
He said
As time’s not on
Our side
Have you done this before
He said
As you’re really rather good
Some things wouldn’t be right to share
She said
Even if I could
If you gave me the chance
He said
I’d have you seeing stars in minutes
Well, you’re free to explore my body
She said
But my mind is strictly off limits
Where will it end
She said
When will it all
Just stop
I’ve got no fucking idea
He said
But I know we’re both
For the chop
I’m really looking forward to it
She said
I think we’ll have a good night
I think it’ll all depend
He said
On any home truths coming to light
Where is your commitment
He said
Your passion and desire?
It all left when he did
She said
Now there’s nothing
That stokes the fire
I know we’re not together
He said
And we never will be again
But I still care for you
He said
And want us to be friends
I wish we could go back
She said
To before you went away
But I can’t just forgive or forget
She said
You hurt me too much that day
I can’t take it
She said
It doesn’t feel right
I’m really not proud
Of what I did
That night
You’ve no need to feel bad
He said
Or have any regrets
Just enjoy your freedom
As you’ve paid off
Your debts
