Comforting

I don’t know what I’ll do

She said

When it’s time for you to go

You may never see me again

He said

But when I’m next to you

You’ll know

At The Bus Stop

A second coffin 

Was wheeled out

Someone else 

Had died 

But then I saw 

The robins land

So I stood 

As my tears dried

Wars Of Attrition

Some people stay together

And hate every second of it

But as they’re bound by tradition

They put up with each others shit

They’re worn down day after day

But are far too scared to leave

For of a life full of happiness

They cannot possibly conceive

Hogmanay (Part 3)

Mine

Sweeping

Dicks

Sleeping

Hogmanay 2020 (Part 2)

Staring into a new year

Together

Holding hands

I can’t believe

Out of everyone

It’s you who understands

Hogmanay 2020 (Pt 1)

I’ll give you one day

Where the sun will shine

And that day is Friday

This week

But after that

It’ll all fall flat

And it’s back

To the future that’s bleak

Poles Apart

I still cry myself to sleep

Not that you’d know

You selfish creep

You think because

We all lost him

That we both feel the same

But you’ve really got

No fucking clue

How I live each day in pain

Blowing It

It seems that I am destined

To forever rue the day

I didn’t just pack up my bags

And simply walk away

Hanging Around

I know it’s there

In the shed

Waiting for when

I choose death instead

Currency

I'll
give 
you a
penny
for 
them

He 
said

Tell
me
your 
ups
and 
downs 

You 
can
put 
your 
coppers
away

She 
said

As
for 
those
I'll 
need
pounds

Charred Remains

All those things you said to me

Will always and forever be

The straws that broke my back

The absolute audacity

To not choose your words carefully

Is what turned my heart black

Clarity

In the time it took

To load the gun

He realised how

His demons won

I Can’t Bring You Back Though, Can I?

I can look at your photo

I can whisper your name

I can press your shirt

Against my face

But nothing feels the same

Happy Place

Take me back

To the sea

For it is where

I need to be

But please don’t think

That just because

You’ve emptied my pockets

It’ll be enough to stop it

For in the end

It will just be me

Sinking deep down

Into the depths of the sea

Ain’t Life Grand

We 
only
really 
reached 
halfway 

When
you
went 
and
died 
on me

Now
what 
was
once
bright 
is grey

As 
I deal 
with 
life's
debris

Still

Thunder rolls

Lightning strikes

As grief still cuts me

Like a knife

Rest in power

Rest in peace

For at least now

Your pain has ceased

Tu Me Manques

I just wish you were still here.

That’s it.

No flowery language.

No poetic licence.

I just wish you hadn’t died.

Simple.

Xxx.

The Daily Struggle

I went back to bed

Three times today

To try to dream

This pain away

But it didn’t work

And now I’m awake

Do I have any choice

But my life to take?

‘You Don’t Know What You’ve Got ‘Til It’s Gone ‘

It’s
only
now
I dream
of
you

Now
that
you
are
dead

If
only
you
were
still
here

And
not
just
inside
my
head

Like a

Trapped

I sing

Bleeding

‘When you say it’s gonna happen now

Well when exactly do you mean?

See I’ve already waited too long

And all my hope is gone…’

Pull down the stars

Put out the sun

I’ve had enough

You have won

Afflicted

Wandered
around
again
today

With
an all

Not

Yet

‘Speak to Me Someone’

I am
more
lonely

Than
anybody
knows

I
could
really

Use
a
friend

Before
this
darkness

Inside
me
grows

And
it
really

Is
the
end

Blunt

I
wish
you
were
here
with
me

But
instead
I’m
all
alone

If
only
you
would
write
a letter

Or
call
me on
the
phone

It
would
be so
wonderful
to facetime

Or
if
you
texted
me
instead

But
I know
you
won’t
do any
of these

You
can’t

Because
you’re
dead

The Double Bed

It’s been so quiet

Since you left

All I hear

Is my own breath

As I lie here alone

And wait for death

‘Should I Stay Or Should I Go’

If
someone
told me
then

How all
this
would
end

I’d pack
a bag
and run
away

And not
even
bother
to pretend
