Qualms

An allegory for so much

This one

Love, life and death

Trying to capture that feeling

When you need to stop

And pause for breath


Keep The Engine Running

Shall
we go
ahead
and jump

He
asked

Now that
we’ve
come
this far?

I’m not
so sure,
anymore,

Let’s just
get back

Super Human

The extent of your brilliance

They never could see

But you were always more

Than just a man to me

Afterlife

You still
save me
in so
many ways

Even

‘Reality Bites’

In a way it’s easier

To still see you every day

For as we get both older

My heart grows colder

And doesn’t hurt in the same way


Taken

I can bear most things in life

But it kills me every time

To know no matter what I do

You will never again be mine

Gold Dust

Even though

We only

Get one heart

I still

Gave mine

Away

But our love’s

Duet

I will never

Regret

Until

My dying day


Nothing Left

I
loved
you

And
you
loved
me

So now
my
penance

Is
never
to be
free

To
love
again

It’ll Need Stitches

I can clean it with antiseptic

He said

And cover it with a plaster

It won’t make any difference

She said

It’s still a fucking disaster


Bleeding

It feels
like I’ve
been
robbed,
she said,

Of the
only
love
in my
life

This
pain
just
runs
so deep,
she sobbed,

As it
cuts
through me
like a
knife

Unrequited (Part Two)

Did you always love her?

No

Did she always love you?

Yes

Did that change anything?

Absolutely

Did you always love him?

Yes

Did he always love you?

No

Did that change anything?

Never

I’ll Be Okay

A tale of love

Unrequited,

Ever so sad

Yet I’m secretly

Delighted

To have experienced it.

Otherwise,

How would I have known?


‘You Can’t Always Get What You Want’

It’s not you

It’s not me

It’s just the way

Where’s Your Ro(man)ce?

Even my love poems

It seems

Have a sinister tone

So it’s no wonder

That I’ve spent

So long on my own

No Hard Feelings

It wasn’t our time

Nor was it the place

But I’ll never forget

Your sweet embrace


The Reference

When it is

I see

Her next

I’ll be sure

To let

Her know

How you’re

Passionate,

Funny

And kind

And how

It hurts

To let

You go

Too Late Now

I don’t know how it’s happened

And I can’t even tell you why

But, it seems, I’ve grown old

In love with the wrong fucking guy

Not Yet, Anyway

It will soon be three years

Without him here

And I know time is supposed to fly

But it feels like just yesterday

That he was my mainstay

So I’m not ready for some other guy


The Anniversary

It will
soon be
a year,
without
you here,
and I
don’t

For I’m
still
nowhere
near,
facing
my fear,
or the
reality
of losing
you.

‘So I’ve made my mind up
I must live my life alone
And though it’s not the easy way
I guess I’ve always known
I’d say goodbye to love…’

One Decision, One Thousand Lifetimes

I’m not sure if this notion

Of there only ever being one person

For us to love is true

But what I can say for sure

Is even if there were a hundred more

I would only ever want you

If
I was

To

I’d

“Some kill their love when they are young,
And some when they are old;
Some strangle with the hands of Lust,
Some with the hands of Gold:
The kindest use a knife, because
The dead so soon grow cold.”

I Tried To Warn You

She never did see it

And now you’re apart

You have been left

With wounds that smart

If only you’d listened

To my remark

You could’ve saved yourself

The broken heart


You Deserve More

I wish you
could see
yourself with a
different view

And know
there are so
many things to
love about you

My only hope
is that she
will see it
again soon too

Then perhaps
you could both

I can clearly remember

Their wedding day

All of that promise

On display

It’s such a shame

It ended that way

And now love’s young dream

Has faded away

not

I’m sure that we can all recount

How we met our lovers

But some such stories

Of our former glories

Are more significant than others

That Split Second

When I saw you
sleeping there

I couldn’t help
but stop and stare

Probably because
I was drunk too

Although nowhere

A Younger Model

Will you still love me

When I am old and grey

Will you still want me

To touch you in that way

Will you still need me

To kiss you goodbye each day

Or will you just find someone else

And simply walk away


A Risky Business

We really
shouldn’t
do this,

“And I wonder
When I sing along with you
If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again”

Your Butterfly, Madame…

It’s better to have loved and lost

Than to never have loved at all

And it’s better to hide the knives,

I find,

To protect your abdominal wall
