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
"All my life's buried here, heap earth upon it"
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
I know
You’re feeling anxious
I can sense
How scared you are
But if you
Can let me
I promise I’ll
Go gently
And to barely leave
A scar
You’ll never know
How many times
I wanted
To walk away
You’ll never know
How many times
You were why
I chose to say
I’m not sure
She said
If I did the right thing
Trust me
He said
He’ll definitely ring
Maybe it’s you
Maybe it’s me
Maybe we’re both
Just lost at sea
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
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
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
Please,
Just give me something
Even if
It’s only one word
I don’t need
Your comfort
But just to know
That I’ve been heard
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
Of course
It’s sad
Don’t
We know it
But they’re just
Not ready
For us
To show it
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
Spooning
My heart out
Drowning
In blood
You have killed me,
In a way,
That no other man
Ever could
You claim
You want
To know
The truth
But the truth
Is you couldn’t
Care less
All you want
Is someone
To taunt
And to leave
After making
A mess
You think
A diet,
Hair dye,
And dentistry
Will help you
Find a mate
But, my dear,
Alas, I fear,
You’ve left it
Far too late
You think
You’re so clever
You think
You know it all
Well let’s see
How smart you are
With your back
Against the wall
If only you
Would ask me now
Instead
Of way back when
Because I’d say yes
And strongly suggest
That we stay anything
But friends
I’m not here
For your pleasure
I don’t exist
To be your toy
As from now,
Myself,
I have reclaimed
For me alone
To enjoy
I can’t wait
To see you next
And hear you
Say my name
To feel
Your touch
To say
Too much
And to fall in love
Again
Thank you
For being
Nice to me
Thank you
For being
So kind
I’ll keep
What you said
Inside
My head
And leave
All the shit
Behind
You may think
Your cheeky wink
Was both charming
And flirtatious
Yet your inane smile
And attempt to beguile
Tested nothing
But my patience
Thinking back
To that night
A split decision
And your plane
Took flight
If I’d known then
What I do now
I’d have grabbed
Your hand
And never
Let go
I’ve never felt
More myself
Than when I
Was alone
With you
Xxx
Why don’t
We leave now
He said
Let’s get a bus,
Taxi or walk
We won’t
Be having sex
She said
But I’d love it
If we could talk
Back
In the beginning
There was
So much
To adore
And yet
I still ended
Up crying
On the bathroom
Floor
As the thunder claps
And the heavens open
I search through the scraps
Of what you have broken
I know
That you’re
In love
With her
But please spare
A thought
For me
I know we
Were bereft
And that’s why
You left
But you were once
Everything
To me
I wonder
Where
You are
Tonight
And if
You ever
Think of me
Or do you
Just
Lay there
Her hands in
Your hair
As you sigh
Contentedly
Do you think
We connected
Because we’re
Both damaged
Inside
That,
Perhaps,
We only found
Each other
As we had
Nowhere left
To hide
How we were
Tonight
Wasn’t
Quite right
In fact,
We were downright
Laughable
But when
A love affair
Is in the air
I guess no one is
Entirely rational
Please
Don’t look
At me
That way
I know
What you
Are going
To say
And when
You do
I’ll know
For sure
That what
We had
Can be
No more
