"All my life's buried here, heap earth upon it"
You were
Never destined
To be
Mrs Right
But as
Mrs Right Now
You were fun
So it’s good
That we dropped it
And eventually
Just stopped it
As no real harm
Was done
In Another Life, Perhaps
What
happened
the other
night
She
said
Must
never
happen
again
It
pains me
so much
to say it
He
said
But
we are
better off
as friends

The first time
It was fine
As I was young and naive
I didn’t know
Where it would go
So it was easy to just believe
But now I’m older
And my heart colder
I need to be assured
That you intend
To keep up your end
Before my commitment is secured
Going Down The Rabbit Hole
If you don’t mean what you say,
Perhaps we should both just walk away.
Now.

To be fair
If you did
I wouldn’t need
To confess
As it radiates
From me
Like stale beer
And cigarettes
Emptiness
At one time
perhaps
I would have
said yes
But the
desire now
I no longer
possess
Should you
ever try
your love
to profess
To this
emptiness
inside I
would confess

It wasn’t that
I wanted to stop
But I was scared that we’d get caught
That’s why I knew
What I had to do
Even though it left us distraught
Condensation
As the

now I
realise
I’ve
played
this all

And it

I still don’t really understand
Why I was left feeling so at sea

Who steadied our ship
It’s not like you ever looked after me
Without You
Life
is just

I’ve got
nothing

You could’ve saved yourself

You Deserve More
I wish you
could see
yourself with a

there are so

is that she

She began to realise, at last,
Her heart was capable of rewarming

We both met up again last night
And as we held each other tight
We reveled in our connection to you
Before parting in the morning hue
Your Birthday
Yesterday
we
remembered

Together,

us two.
We laughed,
and smoked
and drank
too much beer.
Both of us

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,

Don’t you dare

You don’t need to tell me
