"All my life's buried here, heap earth upon it"
Why do we bother to love
She said
When it really is
So cruel
I’ve got no idea
He said
It’s not me who makes the rules
Savages
So now
you’re
leaving
me too
Now
you have
broken
my heart?
Well
fuck off
back to
her then
I’ll
soon
tear you
apart

Yet another based in fact,
This one,
From a past life indescretion
Thank fuck I found,
In the end,
Less painful forms of expression
Conflicting Stories
I gave you everything I could
He said
Even if you don’t remember it
You gave me hell, heartbreak and hepatitis
She said
And your dope was shit

In a parallel life somewhere
In another space and time
Things would be very different
And you would still be mine
Different Hymn Sheets
Shall
we
just
stay
here
She
said
And be
happy
forever
more?
I
don’t
think
I can
He
said
For
there’s
another
I love
more

Just for that one
Moment in time
I thought, perhaps,
That I had won
But then I saw you
Holding her hand
And I knew then
That we were done
Across The Table
I love how you know,
To hold my hand,
Just by the croak in my voice.
I am so grateful,
That you understand,
Just how much I need that choice.
Feeling that you’re there,
And how much you care,
Means everything you see.
But not forcing me to speak,
When you sense I’m weak,
Is why you’re the one for me.

‘We’ve got all night to fall in love
But just like that we fall apart’
There is nothing
Left to do
There isn’t anything
Else to say
I just really
Fucking miss him
Every single day
Xxx
I’ve had enough of this
She said
On the inside and the out
Let’s just run away
He said
No more messing about
“Men speak conveniently of love when it their serves their purpose. And when it doesn’t, it’s a burden to them.”
– Maid Marian
It was always wreckless
And possibly quite mad
But I have fallen
In love with you
In each lifetime I’ve had
Xxx
There is no substitution
For what we had
Looking for it again
Will only drive me mad
Don’t you dare
Question me
Like you’re
Any fucking better
I know
What you both did
Don’t forget
I read her letter
The girl you knew is gone
She said
Killed by love itself
You don’t need to tell me
He said
For I dug her grave myself
The coincidence
Inexplicable
The evidence
Inadmissible
But I know it’s you
Xxx
There’s no point in us speaking
I don’t want to argue anymore
If you choose not to hear me
Then despite loving you dearly
I’m walking out the door
If only she was better
Then she’d be worthy of your hand
But as it is
It’s a basic bitch
Who will wear your wedding band
‘Make love your goal…’
Absence
He said
Makes the heart grow fonder
And telling lies
She said
Makes your nose grow longer
I know
You know
I like you
But I know
You don’t know
How much
If you no longer love each other
Then what’s the fucking point
Just staying together to destroy each other
Noses permanently out of joint
Why not just call it quits
As it’s clear neither of you tries
That has to be better than being miserable
Until one of the two of you dies
When
I next see her
I’ll be sure
To let her know
How you’re passionate,
Funny and kind
And how it hurts
To let you go
While everyone else enjoys
Their happily ever after
I sit here alone
And wait for mine
Though I’m no longer sure
If my heart is as pure
As it was once
Upon a time
‘I’m hanging on the wire,
For love I’ll never find’
There’s nothing left to say
She said
Now my future is on track
You once took my breath away
She said
But now I want it back
It’s not
That I didn’t
Consider
Your feelings
I just didn’t
Think about you
At all
I know
It comes across
Like I am rapacious
Between the sheets
But believe me
When I say
My tongue is firmly
In my cheek
So now you’re back
You think I’ll crack
And give you my heart again
Well I’ve changed tack
And jumped into the sack
With your (much fitter) best friend
As you don’t seem
To get it
I’ll explain it again
Real quick
It wasn’t your love
I wanted
It was merely your
Conversation
As I watched you
From the window
Hands pressed
Against the glass
My tears fell
As I knew full well
You were never
Coming back
If it wasn’t you
It would have been someone else
I’m not that fussy
I always knew
That I loved you
But never if
You loved me back
We always knew
This would end one day
That all our feelings
Would fade away
But we didn’t know
How much it would hurt
That we couldn’t see it through
For better or worse
If I knew then
What I know now
I wouldn’t have let you stay
I’d have made sure
You saw the worst of me
And done my best
To push you away
“Sex is the consolation you have when you can’t have love.”
– Gabriel García Márquez
If I can’t give you
All of my heart
Would you be happy
With just one piece?
You can have the bit
That’s dead to me
And I’ll keep the part
That beats
Sometimes
I wonder
if there
was ever
a me
before
you
Today is going to be hard,
I know,
But that is why I’m here.
To eat, drink and smoke
With you
And wipe away your tears.
Xxx
It’s better that I’m alone
With only the sound of the sea
Living up here is, after all,
Where I was always meant to be
Xxx
I’ll love you forever and ever
Until we’re both cold and blue
Just don’t worry
Your pretty little head
With who else I’ve said this to
We can’t keep doing this
He said
Something has to change
I fear that our dynamic
She said
Is too hard to rearrange
I wish I could sleep forever
As silly as that seems
For then we’d be together
Happy, in my dreams
'What can I give Him,
Poor as I am?
If I were a shepherd
I would bring a lamb,
If I were a Wise Man
I would do my part,—
Yet what I can I give Him,
Give my heart.'
– Christina Rossetti
You said
You didn’t want me
So I had no choice
But to move on
If you’d made it clear
How you held me dear
Then your feelings
I wouldn’t have forgone
If only you’d ask
I would say yes
My undying love
I would confess
Alas it seems
I must somehow
Bide my time
At least for now
You say you’re ever loving
Yet your cruelty holds no bounds
If you care as much
As they tell me
Then why do you make me frown
All is quiet
There’s no more debate
In the place of love
That lives beyond hate
You’re OK
You know
Most days
You just get on
With things
Then suddenly
Out of nowhere
It hits you
At the foot
Of the stairs
And you weep
As you realise
Most days
Will never
Be the same
Again
You really should know by now
He said
You’ve been around for long enough
I guess I’m just an optimist
She said
And perhaps a tad out of touch
Leaping out of the frying pan
Headlong into the fire
Perhaps at the expense of love
But quenching my desire
Starting again
With eyes wide open
Less of a chance
Hearts will be broken
Even though I’ve lost
And she has won
I know your love
Will never be undone
If you can’t win
Don’t lose
What if your best
Isn’t good enough
What if things
Shouldn’t be this tough
Maybe it’s OK
That I want more
And I deserve
What I’m asking for
We were friends
Before we were lovers
And that’s what I miss
The most
‘You teach me now how cruel you’ve been – cruel and false! Why did you despise me? Why did you betray your own heart, Cathy? I have not one word of comfort. You deserve this. You have killed yourself. Yes, you may kiss me, and cry; and wring out my kisses and tears: they’ll blight you – they’ll damn you. You loved me – then what right had you to leave me? What right – answer me – for the poor fancy you felt for Linton?
Because misery, and degradation, and death, and nothing God or Satan could inflict would have parted us, you, of your own will did it. I have not broken your heart – you have broken it; and in breaking it, you have broken mine. So much the worse for me, that I am strong. Do I want to live? What kind of living will it be when you – oh, God! would you like to live with your soul in the grave?’
– Emily Brontë
So it seems I have
A second chance
Another shot
At potential romance
Problem is
Where to start
How do I open
This Stygian heart
I really thought you loved me
She said
But now I see it was a lie
Why were you so hard on me
He said
I was never a bad guy
In the shadows
Is where we’ll meet
To forever dance
Cheek to cheek
Was it you
Or was it me
Who soldiered on
Too blind to see
That it was destined
To end like this
With us both falling
Into the abyss
If we leave things like this
He said
Tell me you won’t self destruct
I can’t make any promises
She said
As my head is completely fucked
If you kiss me
Like that again
What happens next
Won’t be my fault
Our settings will be changed
Forever
And won’t be restored
To default
