If no one saw
But us two
Then who is to say
It happened
If we promise
Never to tell
Then no one else
Need be saddened
"All my life's buried here, heap earth upon it"
If no one saw
But us two
Then who is to say
It happened
If we promise
Never to tell
Then no one else
Need be saddened
Love me
Or leave me
I really couldn’t care
For either way
I’ll just decay
In misery and despair
There’s no point in us speaking
I don’t want to argue anymore
If you choose not to hear me
Then despite loving you dearly
I’m walking out the door
Life would have been so different
Had you never moved away
We could still be together now
Enjoying every day
But that’s not what happened, is it?
When you fucked off and left
Saying that you needed more
Couldn’t stand to feel oppressed
Well I’m glad things worked out for you
That all your stars aligned
But what I cannot ever forgive
Is that you left me behind
If you could find a way to forgive me
She said
Perhaps that’s where we could start
As I honestly never meant
She said
To be so careless with your heart
I’m arrogant and self obsessed
She said
And that will never change
Then I’ll be blessed to see
He said
If you can be re-trained
It was always your choice
To intentionality decieve
Just like it was mine
To pack up and leave
I’m not talking to you anymore
She said
You’re being ridiculously petty
If you’d have listened in the first place
He said
We could have been in bed already
I don’t miss you at all
She said
In fact I never have
Just dispense with all the bullshit
He said
‘Cause it really is a drag
If you no longer love each other
Then what’s the fucking point
Just staying together to destroy each other
Noses permanently out of joint
Why not just call it quits
As it’s clear neither of you tries
That has to be better than being miserable
Until one of the two of you dies
You were responsible
For your actions
Just like I was
For mine
It’s just a shame
You tried shifting the blame
And couldn’t play nicely
At the time
While everyone else enjoys
Their happily ever after
I sit here alone
And wait for mine
Though I’m no longer sure
If my heart is as pure
As it was once
Upon a time
By chance
I met
Your wife today
And she seems
Really nice
If only
She knew
What I do
Her smile
Would turn to ice
I’m really not that keen
She said
On all this wishy washy romance
So if I just say what I mean
He said
You’re telling me there’s a chance?
There’s nothing left to say
She said
Now my future is on track
You once took my breath away
She said
But now I want it back
I know
That I’m not
Quite ready
Thoughts of him
Still rife
In my head
But if you
Come around
Happy to be
The rebound
Then I won’t kick you
Out of bed
I know
It comes across
Like I am rapacious
Between the sheets
But believe me
When I say
My tongue is firmly
In my cheek
So now you’re back
You think I’ll crack
And give you my heart again
Well I’ve changed tack
And jumped into the sack
With your (much fitter) best friend
I used to think
You were the one
Now I’m just glad
That you’ve gone
As I watched you
From the window
Hands pressed
Against the glass
My tears fell
As I knew full well
You were never
Coming back
You want more
I want less
We can’t end this
Without making a mess
If it wasn’t you
It would have been someone else
I’m not that fussy
I always knew
That I loved you
But never if
You loved me back
Why don’t you actually help me
She said
Instead of standing there like a prick
Perhaps if you actually involved me
He said
I wouldn’t feel like such a dick
If I knew then
What I know now
I wouldn’t have let you stay
I’d have made sure
You saw the worst of me
And done my best
To push you away
We’re going on a journey
She said
So be sure to pack your case
Maybe if we leave now
He said
The past we can erase
If I can’t give you
All of my heart
Would you be happy
With just one piece?
You can have the bit
That’s dead to me
And I’ll keep the part
That beats
Sometimes
I wonder
if there
was ever
a me
before
you
Where will we stop
When will this end
How long will you drive me
‘Round the bend
He said that he
Would be back next week
As he packed a bag
And kissed my cheek
We can’t keep doing this
He said
Something has to change
I fear that our dynamic
She said
Is too hard to rearrange
Who was the worst
Me or you
Does it even matter
Who did what to who
Now we have both
Taken the fall
To still keep score
Really means fuck all
You said
You didn’t want me
So I had no choice
But to move on
If you’d made it clear
How you held me dear
Then your feelings
I wouldn’t have forgone
Do you still think of me, I wonder
Like I still think of you
Or ever since you moved away
Have your feelings gone astray
And now you just make do
I know that you can see me
And what I’m trying to do
How I’m trying to make you jealous
To score more points than you
Yet I know it doesn’t matter
Just how much I boast
Or how many fun time photos
That I consistently post
As even from here it’s clear to see
You’re still far happier without me
If only you’d ask
I would say yes
My undying love
I would confess
Alas it seems
I must somehow
Bide my time
At least for now
Leaping out of the frying pan
Headlong into the fire
Perhaps at the expense of love
But quenching my desire
Starting again
With eyes wide open
Less of a chance
Hearts will be broken
Even though I’ve lost
And she has won
I know your love
Will never be undone
In your room
I got undressed
As my body took over
And my heart left
Sometimes I wish I’d said yes
All those years ago
Perhaps if I had
It might well have gone bad
But at least now we’d know
If all I had to do
Was tolerate you
Then really
You should’ve just asked
It was when I thought
You wanted more
That I totally
Fucking cracked
We were friends
Before we were lovers
And that’s what I miss
The most
I can explain
He said
If you want to hear it
I don’t have time
She said
For anymore bullshit
I really thought you loved me
She said
But now I see it was a lie
Why were you so hard on me
He said
I was never a bad guy
Just because
What doesn’t kill me
Apparently
Makes me stronger
Doesn’t give you
An excuse
To hurt me
Any longer
I should have trusted you
She said
And let you through the wall
I didn’t try hard enough
He said
In fact I didn’t really try at all
Was it you
Or was it me
Who soldiered on
Too blind to see
That it was destined
To end like this
With us both falling
Into the abyss
I may have said
You were exceptional
But I’m afraid, my dear,
You were never quite
The exception
If you kiss me
Like that again
What happens next
Won’t be my fault
Our settings will be changed
Forever
And won’t be restored
To default
Okay, okay
I’ve heard you say
You never really loved me
Anyway
There’s no need
To rub it in
I was doing better alone
Then you came and messed with my head
So now I’ve got a different set of problems
To think about instead
There was a naughty boy
And that naughty boy was you
So now you’re a man
Don’t think that you can
All of your bad deeds undo
Why the fuck did we start this
He said
When we knew it would have to end
I guess now we’re no longer lovers
She said
We can never be friends
We left it all
At La Belle Aurore
So we needn’t say
Any more
There are skeletons in my closet
He said
But nothing complicated
That’s the problem with mine
She said
Most of them are naked
Why should I stay
He said
Because you won’t
Why should I care
She said
Because you don’t
Call me your sweetheart again
She said
And I’ll punch you in the face
For you never earned that right
She said
In the first fucking place
Real love isn’t all poetry
With hearts and fancy flowers
Sometimes it’s just about making do
And putting in the hours
I really tried to love you
He said
But I wasn’t good enough
It’s really not your fault
She said
My exterior is just too tough
