As another sun sets
On our argument
My stomach
Is still in bits
Because of all the things
We could’ve been
I never thought
That we’d be this
The Heat Of The Moment
I never said
You weren’t thoughtful
Not conscientious or kind
It’s just that when I said
I wish you were dead
I had other things
On my mind
Pretty Please
How many times more likely
Would it be if you asked politely
I mean I’d let you do
Whatever you wanted to
If you just spoke to me nicely
Challenge (Somewhat) Accepted
If you gave me the chance
He said
I’d have you seeing stars in minutes
Well, you’re free to explore my body
She said
But my mind is strictly off limits
The Sins Of Fathers
If I was to meet my father
When he was a younger man
I would ask him some questions
To help me to understand
Like did he ever really love her
That’s what I’d like to know
Why did he defy his parents
If it was all just for show?
Why when he had his own kids
Did he revert back to what he knew
Why treat us the way he had been
What was he trying to do?
But most of all I’d tell him
Of the mistakes he was going to make
And convince him to do things differently
For our relationships sake
On A Loop
It doesn’t matter
What you do
Or how many fantasies
You suggest
As nothing can beat
The reality
That plays
Inside my head
Decisions, Decisions…
I really shouldn’t
Call you
And from your delights,
Refrain
As I’d probably be better
Off alone
Than to sleep with you
Again
In All Seriousness
I know I don’t
Tell you enough
Preferring to make
Remarks off the cuff
But I do love you,
You know
The Leap Year Dinner
I’m really looking forward to it
She said
I think we’ll have a good night
I think it’ll all depend
He said
On any home truths coming to light
Fucking Things Up
I didn’t mean
For you to leave
All I needed
Was a break
And now you’ve gone
All I do is dwell on
My unintentional
Mistake
Ruing The Day
When you asked me
If I loved you
How I wish
That I’d said no
Then my being exploited
Could’ve been avoided
And this pain
I’d never have known
Freshers Week
As she wound her way
To the dancefloor
With a drink held tight
In each hand
I knew there and then
That we’d be friends
In ways no-one else
Would understand
Not A One Way Street
If you just expect
That I’ll acquiesce
Then there’s no way this
Will ever progress
Before It All Ended
Sitting here
In our chair
Remembering how
You’d stroke my hair
And tell me
That you love me
Lifeless
Where is your commitment
He said
Your passion and desire?
It all left when he did
She said
Now there’s nothing
That stokes the fire
Just One Of Those Things
I know we’re not together
He said
And we never will be again
But I still care for you
He said
And want us to be friends
I wish we could go back
She said
To before you went away
But I can’t just forgive or forget
She said
You hurt me too much that day
Meeting As Kids
So what is it
You’re saying?
He said
You want to pack up
And get rid?
It’s not that I don’t
Love you now
She said
It’s that I’m not sure
I ever did
The Game
With his winning charm
And heart of valour
He led her home
Where he knew he’d have her
With her flowing hair
And knowing grin
She followed him home
Where she knew she’d win
Fancy A Drink Sometime?
I asked him once
Why he’d tried
Because you looked nice
He replied
To which I said
Well, I’m glad you did
As left to me
I’d’ve ran and hid
The (Frosty) Drinks Reception
Let’s enjoy ourselves tonight
She said
Have fun
Like everyone else
Then you need
To let it go
He said
And hope your cool exterior melts
What Came Before
I really am so sorry
She said
I should have told you
From the start
But I’ve been remiss
I’m not fit for this
Because of my broken heart
You don’t need to apologise
He said
I always knew
To take things slow
Out of respect
For you and your ex
I’m happy to go with the flow
Like An Old Pair Of Slippers
It was back when we
Became best friends
That I knew we’d never
Have sex again
2.4 Children
We must catch up sometime
She said
I miss spending time with you
If that was all I had at home
She said
Then I would miss me too
Craving
I held you once
In my arms
Yet you slipped
Right through
My fingers
Now my heart burns
For your return
As the touch
Of your hand
Lingers
You Just
You just haven’t met the one
They said
You just need to give it time
You just need to fuck off
She said
You just don’t get to decide
We’ll Never Know
If we could go back
What would you do
Stick around for another
Drink or two?
Or would you leave me
There alone
And find someone else
To walk you home
Charming Collaborations #8
Never Give Up
Don't give up now
He said
You have come so far
The moment you give in
Is the moment
You fuck up
You can't afford to regress
He is not there to catch you
When you fall flat
On your pretty face

Spineless
Please don’t say it’s over
He said
I won’t believe it
If you do
It’s exactly that lack of backbone
She said
That I hate most
About you
Punching Low
Why the fuck
Would you stay
When you know
That shit
Is not okay
There has to be
Some other way
For you
To leave
Without delay
Partners In Crime
I’m glad
It all
Was good
For you
And that
It worked
Out well
Now I
Will just
Stay here
Alone
Languishing
In hell
Charming Collaborations #7
Stranger Danger
The night our worlds collided
So different and yet the same
I lost myself in your eyes
Without even knowing your name
You were merely a stranger
Who stole my heart
In the most dangerous way
Now I am searching
For a glimpse of you
And the space we once shared
In a crowded square
