"All my life's buried here, heap earth upon it"
Those oceans feel
A little calmer now
As those days
Have passed me by
So from here
I’ll just tread water
Hoping for help
Before I die
The Drowning Girl
Tears
run into
oceans
Hours
bleed into
days
As I go
through
the motions
Trapped
between
the waves

Not only was he handsome,
Smart and debonair
It also transpired
After he had inquired
That he was a millionaire
Currency
I’ll
give
you a
penny
for
them
He
said
Tell
me
your
ups
and
downs
You
can
put
your
coppers
away
She
said
As
to hear
those
you’ll
need
pounds

Remove the paracetamol
And hide the razor blades
As I feel like shit
Again today
So you need to take the reins
The Daily Struggle
I went back to bed
Three times today
To try to dream
This pain away
Yet it didn’t work
So now I’m awake
Do I have any choice
But my life to take?

As there was no one to pull me
Back in from the ledge
It is here I remain
Drunk and in pain
Standing perilously close to the edge
A Little More
As I fall
apart
a little
more
each day
I wonder
if I’ll
always
feel
this way
How
much
lower
can I
sink?
Who will
pull me
back
from the
brink?

I know you’re looking
To me for help
But I am just
As clueless myself
I’m Sorry
It hurt
to see
the pain
in your
eyes
I felt
every
ache
of your
heart
If only
I could
ease the
anguish
you feel
But
I’ve no
wisdom
left to
impart

Tea
She said
Is that it?
Don’t you have anything stronger
I’ll have a look in the back
He said
But it might take a little longer
Stiff Upper Lip
I
feel
so
sad
She
said
Can
you
help
me?
I’ll
certainly
try
He
said
Here’s
some
tea

I hope that now
You’re away from me
You are enjoying
Your life carefree
I hope you don’t
Think of me
For I’m standing tall
Just as I should be
The Burden
If
only
I knew
what to do
I
would
not be so
reliant on you
If
only
I knew
how to grieve
It
would be
so much easier
to let you leave
If
only
I knew
who to be
I’d
thank you
for your help
and set you free

Sometimes all you need
Is a shoulder on which to cry
Someone armed with tissues
To help wipe away your issues
Is enough to help you get by
Why Not
Come here
She implored
And sit with me
Let’s drink some wine
Watch shit TV
We can hold hands
And talk all night
Until our troubles
Are out of sight

Who do I think I’m kidding
She said
There’s no way that I could help you
You’d better off going it alone
She said
There’s more chance you’ll make it though
Ter(rain)
I’ll
take
your
hand
If
you
are
frightened
I’ll
hold
you
hair
If
you
feel
sick
I’ll
even
lead
you
To
the
path
of
enlightenment
If
you’re
really
fucking
quick

I don’t know what I’d do
If I didn’t have you
You were the only one
To keep me sane
It was like you knew
What I was going through
And how to help me
Feel like me again
Grounding
Thanks for talking to me
He said
I hope it was of some worth
Thank you so much for listening
She said
It has brought me back to earth

There’s nothing wrong with being self sufficient
She said
After all it’s got me this far
I never said you weren’t resilient
He said
But that doesn’t have to be all you are
Toolkit
You wish you could fix me,
But you can’t.
I wish I would let you,
But I won’t.

When I was at
My lowest ebb
It was you who was there
For me
You’ll never know
How much you did
To help my heart
Run free
Hope
Your words help guide my wayward step
And shine light in to my darkened heart
Your smile breaks my fall to the kitchen floor
And stems the tears from my haunted eyes
Your touch quietens the incessant voice in my head
And replenishes my embittered soul
You allow me to believe that love might be possible again
One day

You came through
Like a bolt from the blue
When I never even knew
How much I needed you
Look out for each other
That’s what you said
Be considerate and kind
Well you never did
When you left me for dead
Whilst I slowly lost my mind
I can’t help you
She said
I have nothing to give
Don’t count on me
She said
For your reason to live
I can empathise
And respond in kind
Take my cue
From many a sign
But there is no way
I can read your mind
Down a silent
Telephone line
How can I stop you feeling so sad
He said
Please,
Just tell me and I’ll do it
I don’t know where to start
She said
And if I did,
I wouldn’t put you through it
They do not like me Jesus
He said
What am I supposed to do
If you teach me one of your tricks
Perhaps some friends might then ensue
—
I cannot help you friend
He said
For those tricks are mine alone
You must find your own way
Even if it means a lifetime alone
The idea really
Was never
For you to just come
And go
It was more to ensure
You could open the door
To remove my head
From inside the stove
Why don’t you actually help me
She said
Instead of standing there like a prick
Perhaps if you actually involved me
He said
I wouldn’t feel like such a dick
I thought
If I told you
How I felt
That you
Would understand
But now I realise
I was wrong
So I’m stuck
In no man’s land
Thanks for talking to me
He said
I hope it was of some worth
Thank you for listening
She said
It brought me back to earth
You must know why
I behave this way
The resignation is clear
On my face
You of all people
Should understand
My need for time
And space
If ever you need someone
You don’t have to worry
As I’ll be there
Like a shot
Please never question
If you can call me
As I’d rather listen to you
Than not
You could have been
So much more
But you drank it all away
I know deep down
Your heart was sore
And that you didn’t want to stay
But I wish you knew
How much we cared
And only wanted the best
Now you’re no longer here
We hope
You are finally at rest
