I wish
I could
find
myself
again
But
I’ve
no idea
where to
look
Hide & Seek
When
I think
back now
I realise
I lost
myself
way before
I lost you

"All my life's buried here, heap earth upon it"
Half of you
Half of her
But which half
Do I prefer
Hard to tell
Who I am
When I feel
Like a sham
‘Scotsmen are said to be clannish folk. This may be because many a Scotsman never truly leaves his home. His home is always in his heart.’
– Unknown
It was only in losing you
Forever
That I truly found myself
Xxx
In the beginning
I would always try
To be as honest as I could be
But in the end I fell
So far from the truth
That the line was a dot to me
Although you’re glad to have me back,
Eating those chips will give me a heart attack!
I can’t sit in front of the telly all day,
For I fear my brain will waste away.
I don’t want a pint at the Working Men’s Club –
How about we cycle to a gastropub?
I don’t remember Elsie from next door but two,
Even if you are convinced I do.
And I don’t want any more tea,
Unless it’s ceylon, roiboos or elderberry.
You see when I moved away,
I left all of this without a care.
And now when I’m forced to come back here,
I am embarrassed beyond compare.
Although
I’m
tiredOf being
someone
I’m notWho
I once
wasI have
now
forgot
I did
everything
I could
to fit in
But yet
I was
still an
outcast
Neither
side
understood
me
The gulf
between
the two
too vast
In
some
ways
losing
myself
has
been
harder
than
losing
you
When I
think back
I realise
that I
lost myself
way before
I lost you
