Just So You Know

It was never

Real love

It wasn’t even

Infatuation

You were just a way

To brighten the day

And help offset

My frustration

Fingers Crossed

It’s good to see

You’re moving on

It’s just a shame

That it’s with her

I wish you well

Although time will tell

If you will get

What you deserve

Thanks A Lot, Walt

For all your experience

He said

You’re still so fucking naive

I grew up watching fairy tales

She said

So that’s what I was led to believe

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

Pants Down

We're both
To blame

For this
Disaster

Never stopping
To think

What would
Happen after

They found out
What we did

What was once
Just a fling

Has now
Fucked up

Everything
And left us

Knee deep
In shit

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?

The Illusion

With each day

That passes by

Things become

Less of a blur

Now I know

I don’t miss

You at all

Just who I thought

You were

You Should Tell Him

In order

For things

To go

To plan

You have

To make one

First

No good

Ever comes

From

Putting it off

Just because

You fear

The worst

Late Night Ponderings

What would it be like

If we met

Would we hit it off

Or just regret

Ever agreeing to a date?

Maybe we should keep

The fantasy

By just staying friends

Digitally

And leave the rest to fate?

Lunch Dates

I knew it wouldn’t work

But I said yes anyway

I just needed to prove

That one afternoon

Couldn’t chase

My demons away

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

For The Best

As wonderful

As one night may seem

I simply can’t agree

To such a scheme

As being with you

Even for a minute

Would leave a pile of shit

And me knee deep in it

Going, Going, Gone…

If only you could wait

She said

I’d make it worth your while 

As much as that appeals

He said

Hanging around just ain’t my style

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

Starting Small

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

Purpose

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

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

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
