Careful What You Wish For

I never thought

I had a heart

Until it broke

In two

I Hope You’re Happy Now

My eyes weep
As my heart aches
I hope you’re happy now

My mind breaks
As my guts bleed
I hope you’re happy now

My soul scars
As you leave
I hope you’re happy now

Hard/Harder

Falling asleep is hard 
Waking up is harder

Getting showered is hard
Putting on clothes is harder

Making breakfast is hard
Eating it is harder

Leaving the house is hard
Going home is harder

Crossing the road is hard
Looking both ways is harder

Listening to people is hard
Talking to people is harder

Smiling in general is hard
Laughing at jokes is harder

Living with you was hard
Living without you is harder

Another Please, Barkeep (Part 2)

I 
think 
you 
might 
expire

He 
said

If 
your 
sigh 
gets 
any 
heavier 

Well, 
I guess 
I'd be 
better 
off 

She 
said 

Now 
he's 
agreed 
to marry 
her

Undo

Can we go back

To a simpler time

When I was yours

And you were mine?

It’s Always Worse In The Dark

I’m
crying
again

In
the
kitchen

Hot
salty
tears
itching
as
they
fall

All too
readily
from
my
face

As I
remember
what
I’ve
lost

And
who
I can’t
replace

Three Score And Ten

Some
days
it feels
like
forever

Others
it feels
like a
minute

But no
matter
how
much
time has
passed

Life’s
still
shit
without
you
in it

Xxx

Duped

You
must
never
leave
me

She
said

For
I
would
fall
apart

I’ll
stay
with
you
forever

He
said

I’d
never
break
your
heart

More Or Less

I
guess
I’m
happy

More
or
less

Even
though
I’m
left

To
clean
up the
mess

Overindulgence

My
head
hurts
today

Just as
much
as my
heart

I need
coffee
and a
cigarette

Then
I’ll
make
a start

Wounded

They
say
you
shouldn’t
write
when
drunk

But
what
else
will
help
deal
with
this
funk?

At
least
beer
allows
me to
release
that
valve

And my
heart,
somewhere
along
the
line,
to
salve

Gone Since September

Life gets a little easier

Day by day

As the worst of the heartache

Fades away

But the ostracism

That never ends

Although I’ve done all I can

To apologise and make amends

Timing

Time can
never mend

A broken
heart

When tears
descend

05/02/2020 10

Confrontation

What do
you want
me to say

That I’ll
eventually
be okay?

What is it
you want
me to do

Fall
desperately
out of love
with you?

Well
neither
of these
are possible

For
me

Because
I am nowhere
near as
methodical

As
you

Tough Shit

You can
try it on
all you
like

But
we can
never be
together

For my
heart
belongs
to another

And it
will stay
that way
forever

Name That Tune

People play
those songs

With no notion
of this pain

No idea that
when I hear them

My heart bleeds
for you again

The Old Days

Waking along
this empty street

Splashing puddles
with my feet

I remember when
we used to meet

And my broken heart
skips a beat

All Day Every Day

All
that
I am

Is all
that I
feel

And
I feel
nothing

01/11/2019 13

What’s The Point?

It
feels
like
I’ll
never
laugh
again

As my
life
is so
full of
sorrow
and pain

Like
I’ll
no
longer
be able
to smile

And
that
nothing
I do will
ever be
worthwhile
