Unlike Some

If I’ve learned one thing

After all these years

It’s that being kind to yourself

Doesn’t end in tears

And something else I’ve learned

From surviving the worst

Is that loving yourself

Never fucking hurts

Had We Known

The more

I think

About it now

The more

It’s clear

To me

That we were

Always

Meant to meet

But just never

Destined

To be

Xxx

False Pretences

Now that it’s all

Said and done

There’s still

One answer

I lack:

Why the fuck

Did you let me

Love you

If you didn’t want

To love me back?

Just Watching TV

I don’t really know

What happened

I’m not sure

Why I cried

Something

Just reminded me

Of how I felt

The day he died

You were amazing

With me

Your words

So soft and kind

Your touch

Helping to soothe me

Drying the tears

From my eyes

I know

That I struggled

To tell you

At the time

Just how much

I loved him

And truly miss

That man of mine

Yet what I’m sorry

I couldn’t say

But really

Wanted to

Is how happy

I know he’d be

To see

That I’ve found you

Ten Years Too Late

If only you

Could see me now

I’m sure

That you’d be proud

I think you’d agree

I’m as I should be

And you’d say you love me

Out loud

The Odd Text Here And There

In another place

And another time

I’d be yours

And you’d be mine

But as we’re here

And the time is now

Seems we both

Have to settle

For just chatting,

Somehow

Bearing A Torch

As I run down
This darkened road
My heart beats fast
Ready to explode
Just thinking
Of what lies ahead

Little do I know
As I follow the flame
It’ll turn out to be
Such a shame
As you’ve walked
The other way, instead

In The Wings

If only

You would see me

The way

That I see you

But now you’ve gone

And married her

To wait

Is all I can do

Green Flag

It’s nice to have you around

She said

I feel better when you’re here

I wouldn’t be anywhere else

He said

I hope that much is clear

SOS

Maybe it’s you

Maybe it’s me

Maybe we’re both

Just lost at sea

Limerence

Of all the men

It has been

There’s no one

That compares to

Yet of all the men

It will be

I must accept

It’ll never be you

At The Altar

I really hope

You’ll meet me

And we’ll leave

Hand in hand

But the journey ahead

Is risky

So if not,

I’ll understand

Seeing The Light

I did

What I did

All those years

Because

I thought

I loved you

But now

I can see

How you

Treated me

And what a shell

That turned me

Into

Respite

I thought of us

Again today

And, as always,

You made me smile

It was a welcome break

From all the heartache

Even if only

For a while

Un Merveilleux Malheur

I don’t think

I’ve missed you

More than I have

Today

There was nothing

I could do

To help push

These feelings away

And even though

It is now

Nearly twenty six years old

I have realised

My love for you

Will simply

Never grow cold

Xxx

“Into My Arms”

Your wandering soul

All alone

With your bones of ash

And heart of stone

If only you could find

Your way back home

I’d hold you tight

And never let you go

Xxx

A Temporary Salve

It all

Felt better

For a while

You made

Me laugh

You made

Me smile

But now

It’s over

And

You’re gone

So again,

I’m left

All alone

On A Limb

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

Too Big A Jump

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

One Step At A Time

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
