I will do
All I can
Every day
To make you smile
For seeing you happy
However sappy
Just makes everything
Worthwhile
Pushover
Sometimes
I regret
What I said
And how often
I showed you
The door
As it never seemed
To matter
How your heart
Was shattered
You’d always
Come back
For more
The Thick End Of The Wedge
What do you do
When times get tough
And the love you have
Just isn’t enough
When you can’t see a way
Through all this stuff
And you’re both now stranded
In the rough
Having realised that
When all’s said and done
There is no such thing
As a hole in one
Ultimatums
We don’t have
To decide tonight
We can talk
Again tomorrow
Let’s not allow
The dying light
To lead us both
Back into sorrow
Not All Bad
I do have something
To offer you know
As I’m actually
Quite the catch
If you took my hand
You would understand
And there’s no way
You’d ever go back
What It Is
So tell me exactly
What it is
That she doesn’t understand
How you justify
Your roving eye
And your wandering hand
And I’ll tell you exactly
What it is
That really grinds my gears
How you can sit there
Without a care
Whilst she’s at home in tears
Greener Grass
Absence doesn’t make
The heart grow fonder
We just start to yearn
For what’s over yonder
And so we’re presented
With a question to ponder
Exactly which opportunity
Should we squander?
Dinner Dates
Please
excuse my
awkwardness
I know
I look like
quite the
amateur
I’m just
not sure
of the
etiquette,
yet
Let alone
all of the
vernacular
Charming Collaborations #5
IF ONLY
Why are you still fucking talking
Because the words out of my mouth have meaning
Yet your homespun philosophy bores me
At least I don’t feel compelled by needless preening
Do you think that this is it?
That our relationship is built on shit ?
Well, it’s you that cannot follow instruction
You know what ? I’m done, I quit !
I hope that isn’t an attempt at seduction
If only.

My Heart Was Never In It
When we stood
Up there that day
And promised
We’d always be true
It seems all I proved
As our marriage concludes
Is that I’m a better liar
Than you
All This For Nothing
When I asked how long
You’d wait for me
“Until the end of the world”
You said
Yet it only took seconds
When her lips beckoned
For you to fuck her
Instead
Easy Prey
It’s not
That you have
The audacity
To wear
My doorbell thin
It’s more
The fact
That I’m powerless
To act
And can’t help
But let you in
‘… Such Sweet Sorrow’
Every
time
we
say
goodbye
I wish
that
you
would
stay
For
another
part
of my
soul is
crushed
Each
time
you
walk
away

A Lost Cause
I know you think
You can change me
That your kindness
Will be enough
But trust me when I say
There’s been too much decay
For my heart to be capable
Of love
Bad Seed
I
wish
there
was a
way
To
make
you
see
That
good
boys

you
Aren’t
for
bad
girls

The Lady Killer
Don’t think you can come
Crawling back now
Acting all innocent
And holier than thou
You and I both know
What you did back then
And why, in effect,
I’d wring your neck
Time and time again
Let It Burn
I have killed us
Once before
And I will happily
Do it again
For I am
No longer
In love with you
In fact we’re
Not even friends

Relocation
It wasn’t that
After our spat
I just put up
The ‘no vacancies’ sign
But I sold the whole
B & B
And left all your bullshit
Behind
No Vacancies
I don’t
want you
to visit
When all
you bring
is pain
I’d rather
stay home
alone
And break
this toxic
chain

Broken Promises
The fool and her heart
Were very soon parted
As he couldn’t finish
What he started
Unkept
You said
To me
You’d always
Be true
Yet it’s clear
That forever
Meant fuck all
To you

Now Made Of Stone
To think I was ever
This pathetic
Leaves me
Open mouthed
And aghast
It certainly took
Some toughening up
But at least now
That nonsense
Has passed
My Dark Heart
Although
my descent
into
madness
Has
torn
my soul
apart
Underneath
all of
this
sadness
I’m still
a romantic
at heart

Close today
Show them your love
In every way
Because when all this
Is said and done
You’ll fucking miss them
When they’re gone

As well as this body of mine
I don’t need anything else
She said
So just the sex is fine

When
I look
deep
Into

I must

I’m
pleasantly
surprised
As
I actually
feel
Something

Which
I thought
I’d lost

A trick

He was a complete

Left Puzzled
Complicated relationships
May be all I’ve ever known
Yet it seems the baggage
That you come along with
By far outweighs my own
Tussle
I don’t want to just be friends
I don’t want to let this go
You may be able to walk away
But this is all I know

Sincerity
If we speak to them
With smiles on our faces
There’s no chance we’ll get back
Into their good graces
We need to show them
Our regrets are huge
Even if that’s only
Half of the truth
Remorse
As we
return
to face
the music
Remember,
this is
no time
for hubris

No Oil Painting
You need to get out more
She said
Get yourself back on the market
There’s no point in either
She said
As I doubt I’d be anyone’s target
Overlooked
What do you think
It would it take
For you
To notice me
Should I wear
A skimpy dress
Paint my lips
So readily?
Well all I have
Is my words
So I guess
That counts me out
As there’s nothing at all
About them
That suggests
I’d like to hangout

The Price
If only I’d have listened
To people back in the day
Everyone who told me
This would end in disarray
Then I wouldn’t ever have known
Such misery and dismay
But I’d never have felt love either
And for that I was willing to pay

We’ve Come Too Far To Go Back Now
Now you come
Begging for love
Cap in outstretched hand
But I know better
And I will never
Erase my line in the sand
Incomprehensible
It’s all

bizarre
How the
tables
have
turned
With
things
now as

And
what we

I did everything
To please you
All I could
To win you round
Including
It seems
Ruining

And running myself

And
tear

Than

I know I made a mistake
I know you’ll struggle to forgive me
But don’t throw this away

I only ever wanted you
But then he arrived instead
Now there’s no chance
In any circumstance
Of you sleeping in my bed

Infinitely more

Even more

Diluted
She who was once vivacious
Grew ever weary from the pain
And though she remained flirtatious
She never truly loved again
As Time Goes By
From
happy
souls
the
lifeblood
drains
Until
nothing
but
the
darkness
remains
