A Swinging Brick

As I sit here

Alone again

Staring

At the wall

I know it’s not

That I don’t

Feel love

It’s that I

Don’t feel

At all

Futility

The lights go out

In the blink of an eye

And there’s nothing left

But to say goodbye

Relentless

I’d love to say

That things have changed

And I no longer feel

So hopeless

But the intervening time

Since writing this rhyme

Has been equally

As atrocious

Nothing

Nothing makes
me happy

Nothing makes
me smile

There’s nothing left
to look forward to

At least nothing that
feels worthwhile

How I Got My Name

I couldn’t have put it

Any more sincerely

As this is me

All over really

The Knight

You come charging in

On your white horse

Thinking you’ll save the world,

Of course

But you’ve nothing to offer

Under all that armour

You don’t fool me,

You little charmer

Taking Things For Granted

I always
thought
being
with you
was hell

Seems
the boredom
of being
without you
is worse

Thoughts #16

You promised

That you’d help

But instead

You made it worse

Now I’ve got

Nothing left

Not even

A decent verse

Repercussions

That was the difference

Between me and you

I was willing to forgive

But you just turned the screw

I considered everyone

While you only cared for yourself

That’s why I’ve got everyone

And you have nothing left

Any Advice?

How on earth do you cope

He asked

With all the loneliness

You don’t have any choice

She said

When you’ve got no one left

It’s Way More Than 10…

It’s the little things

That I hate

And the big things too

In fact there isn’t anything

That I actually like about you

The Thief Of My Heart

I may have

A long life left

But what use is it

Without any light

For all of my fire

Has been douted

Ever since

That awful night

I Can’t Be Arsed

Is this all there is now

Just sitting here killing time

Waiting for the next one to come along

Getting stoned and drinking wine

You see I’d rather not bother

Wasting all this time and effort

I’d prefer to end it here and now

And all my earthly ties sever

Vanished

With no idea what this shit means

I’ve fallen apart at the seams

Hidden behind these opaque screens

I only exist now in my dreams

Robotic

Take
that
look
off
your
face

You
can
hardly
be
surprised

You
know
my heart
cannot
race

And
I’m
dead
behind
the
eyes

State Of Mind

I’ll
never
leave
the
house
again

If
that
is
what
you
want

There’s
nothing
out
there
for
me
anyway

Of
that
I’m
confident

Until The End

As the
silence
grows

Ever
louder

I sit
and
wonder

Is this
it now?

26/01/2020 8

Nothing

Nothing makes
me happy

Nothing makes
me smile

There’s nothing left
to look forward to

Nothing that
feels worthwhile

Getting Better At Caring Less

I walked
past you
today

And didn’t
even turn
my head

I just
sauntered
on by

And felt
nothing
instead

17/12/2019 12

Nothing Left

I
loved
you

And
you
loved
me

Now
my
penance

Is to
never
be
free

To
love
again

All Day Every Day

All
that
I am

Is all
that I
feel

And
I feel
nothing

Keeping Busy

It’s been
a busy
few days

In
many
ways

But now all
my tasks are
completed

So with
nothing
left to do

I’ll soon
be thinking
of you

And how
I’ve been left
feeling cheated

The Anniversary

It will
soon be
a year,
without
you here,
and I
don’t
know
what
to do.

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