TDK D90 (Both Sides)

It took me so long

To make that mix tape

And then

You just threw it away

So I’ll never

Make you another one

Until

My dying day

‘Bought On Stolen Wine…’

All of
those
hours

Sat in
your room

Both
of us
wallflowers

Bathing
in gloom

‘…The Gangster Of Love’

He may well

Have been a chancer

But he was also

A fine romancer

Otherwise I’d have left him

Years ago

‘… A Midnight Toker’

What
do I
have
to
show
for my
life

Fuck
all
is
the
answer

I
suppose
that’s
what
you
should
expect

When
you
risk
it all
on a
chancer

Giving Pandora Her Box Back

How many times

Did I say this

How many times

Did I wish it were true

But now that I’m free

Indefinitely

There is no fun

Without you

Staid

Is
that
it
now

She
said

Are
we
finally
done

As
I’d
like
to go
out

She
said

And
actually
have
some
fun

The Concequences Of Your Actions

It wouldn’t matter if you said sorry

Or tried hard to make amends

For we may always be

Family

But we’ll never again be friends

The Call That Never Comes (Not That I’d Answer If It Did)

I’m
sorry
for
what
I did

I’m
sorry
for
what
I said

I’ve
been
an
utter
arsehole

Given
that
he
is
dead

‘I Wake Up Alone With It All…’

Remember you said

You’d love me forever

And you begged me

To let you to stay

Well I’m beginning

To wonder

If that

Was a blunder

And if I should’ve

Walked away

Happier

Perhaps we’d
have been
happier
as strangers,

For never
having met.

Perhaps we’d
have been
happier
as strangers,

With nothing
to regret.

Those Halcyon Days

I lay in the bath
As you walked the path
Into the depths
Of my soul

I dropped the glass
As we came to pass
And I knew then
I was out of control

(Laws Of) Attraction

I
can no
longer
trust
myself

Whenever
I see
your
face

For I
just
want to
kiss
you

And
never
leave
your
embrace

‘For Better, For Worse’

To paint us as happy

For near nineteen years

Would be way too simplistic

To say there were times

When we were far from fine

Would be much more realistic

Xxx

Sleeping On The Sofa

Too
many
times

I’ve
sat
here
and
cried

Your
slightest
touch

So
cruelly
denied

And
even
though

We
both
tried

I’ve
still
been
left

Feeling
dead
inside

Was It Good For You?

If
I ask
you a
question

He
said

Do you
promise
to tell
the truth?

Yes

She
lied

Does My Bum Look Big In This?

If
I ask
you a
question

She
said

Do you
promise
to tell
the truth?

Yes

He
lied

Empty Handed

As
I lie

Alone

I can

I

I

I’m

Died

And
then

He
did

Duped

You
must
never
leave
me

She
said

For
I
would
fall
apart

I’ll
stay
with
you
forever

He
said

I could
never
break

heart

Told You

I bumped into her

The other day

And it seems my prediction

Was right

As from what she said

He was so shit in bed

They didn’t even last

The night

Love’s Young Dream

Dance, you fools, dance

Dance far away from me

For I’ve seen all of the romance

That I need to see

I know only too well

How all this bullshit ends

Give it a year,

Maybe two,

And you won’t even be friends

Desiderate

Even now I struggle

To lie on your side of the bed

I just wish you were in it

As often as you are my head

Xxx

A King Sized Longing

Lying in bed

Late at night

I turn over

With a sigh

I reach out

With my hand

But it’s now empty

Where you would lie

In Thrall

I have said

Time and time again

“That’s it – I’ve had enough”

But it proves pointless

Time and time again

As leaving you is just too tough

‘It’s In The Trees…’

How do I give you up

My drug of choice

You don’t stand a chance

Whispers the voice

That Old Chestnut

I wish I could say

I’d never take you back

But if I did

I would be lying

You’ll always have a way

To knock me off track

Even without

You really trying

I Am My Own Temple

You only get one chance with me

And you blew it good and proper

Now it’s not about forgiveness

It’s all about my honour

French Exits

As I lie with yet another

Notch on my bed post

I am grateful for a lover

But that’s as far as it goes

Just Another Fish

I suppose
I should
make it
clear

Right
from the
very
start

You may
delight
my
body

But you
will never
have my
heart

No Room At The Inn

You should look for someone else

They say

Now time’s moved on a bit

I wouldn’t know where to start

I say

Or where in my head they’d fit

HeadRoom

I
did
not
realise

That
space
in my
head

Would
still be
filled
by you

Even
though
you’re
dead

Actually, It’s Not Me That’s The Problem

If you lowered your expectations

I reckon we’d be OK

But if you feel it integeral

To keep me on that pedestal

It’ll only end in dismay

‘All The Time…’

If I
could
be

Who
you
want

Me
to
be

Perhaps
then
we

Would
both be
happy

Black-and-Blue

I can’t quite believe

All the time I wasted

Trying to be perfect

When all I created

Was a lie

Bruised

It’s
OK

You
can
say
it

After
all
it’s
true

I
know
you
never

Really
loved
me

Like
how
I loved
you

Glutton For Punishment

I tried to forgive you

Once

But I didn’t quite succeed

So I tried to forget you

Twice

But I would never be freed

Promises

I promise myself
never again
every time
and every time
I believe it.

But the truth is
forgetting you is
a promise
I am powerless
to keep.

Her Spiritual Home

She went to Glasgow

On Friday there

And was amazed at how much

She remembered

She intrinsically knew

She would live there again

Just as they had both intended

Head Over Heels

She
once
asked

Have
you
got a
light?

Then
never
went
home

After
that
night

Why bother saying in person

When you can say in a text

You don’t want to get

Back together

It’s just that you want sex

You’ll Need To Do Better Than That

Don’t
get me
wrong or
anything

It was
nice
to hear
from
you

But
you’ve
done
nothing
at all
to make
me believe

That
your
intentions
are true

In The Next Life

My only wish

Is to see you again

As I really do miss you,

My friend

Maybe One Day

My body
decays
and

My mind
forgets
but

My heart
desires
and

My soul
awakens

Divorce

I know you don’t
Want to live with me
But I hope one day
You can forgive me
For all that I
Have done and said
Since the day we met
And after we wed

Love Or Hate

It’s
hard
to
know
which
is
which

When
you
can
be
such

A String Trio

Were you ever lovers?

Or was he just your friend

I guess now I’ll never know

Who he wanted in the end

Second Fiddle

Drunkenly
wishing
upon a
star

Won’t
make my
dreams
come true

For he’ll
never be
able to
love me

Half as
much as
he loved
you

Less For Murder

Nearly nineteen years of my life

That’s what you had when you were alive

And now three years on

Since you’ve been gone

It still feels like me who died

The Debt Collector

You’ve
stolen
my life
from me

In
oh so
many
ways

It may well
have been
you that
died

But
I’m
the one
who pays

Really Rather Good

Not much to add to this one

As of it I am quite proud

All I will say

Is like the play

It’s best if you read it out loud

A Modern Day Soliloquy

To text,

Or not to text:

That is the question:

Whether ’tis best just to disappear or perhaps

Continue this same conversation with you,

On a face to face and in person basis,

And by doing so end us.

How The Table Turned

Just for that one

Moment in time

I thought, perhaps,

That I had won

But then I saw you

Holding her hand

And I knew then

That we were done

Across The Table

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,

And how much you care,

Means everything you see.

But not forcing me to speak,

When you sense I’m weak,

Is why you’re the one for me.

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

Nowhere Near Over

You don’t know how I feel

You don’t have a fucking clue

And if you think

We’re in the pink

Then I’ve got news for you
