I’m really looking forward
He said
To getting you
Under the covers
Don’t get too excited
She said
As it’s not like
We’ll be lovers
Baby Steps
Why don’t
We leave now
He said
Let’s get a bus,
Taxi or walk
We won’t
Be having sex
She said
But I’d love it
If we could talk
“Whisky Or Beer”
Can I ask you something
She said
And please, be honest with me
Do you think
If I take this drink
It will end my misery?
Sleight Of Hand
What do we have here?
He said
Hand snaking
Towards his crotch
I really can’t be arsed
She said
So I’ll just sit here
And watch
“How Can You Mend A Broken Heart?”
I just thought
I’d call
He said
To check
That you’re ok
You are
So very kind
She said
To care for me
That way
I’ll also ask
While I’m on
He said
If there’s anything
I can do?
I’m sure
I’ll be fine
She said
To me this
Is nothing new
Succinct
What is life
He said
Without a little risk?
There’s testing the limit
She said
And then taking the piss
At The Widows Support Group
Do you ever miss him?
All the time, she said
Each night I cry
Screaming “why?”
As I lay down
In our bed
Do you ever miss him?
Never once, she said
The second he’d gone
I just moved on
To someone else
Instead
Like Candy From A Baby
You seem to spend more time
Smiling
He said
Than you ever did
Before
I’ve just gotten better
At hiding
She said
So you won’t ask me
Anymore
Cheap Rent
Fancy coming up
He said
For a night
Of unbridled bliss?
I shouldn’t think so pal
She said
After all,
I’ve heard you piss!
Are you some kind of freak
He said
When someone pees
You listen in?
It honestly can’t be helped
She said
These walls
Are paper thin!
Half-hearted
You could try
A little harder
He said
And not be afraid
To commit
Why would I
Even bother
She said
When your heart’s
Not even in it
Finding The Time
Ah, you’re still here
He said
So you’ve not popped
Your clogs yet?
It’s not for a lack of trying
She said
But the chance
Has been murder to get
The Operation
Is there another way
She asked
To cure my ills?
I’d have no problem
Taking the pills
If there was something
He said
To advise, I would
But no pill out there
Would do you any good
What are you saying
She asked
I’m devoid of hope?
All that’s left
Is to sit around and mope?
What I mean
He said
Is given your pain
The only way forward
Is to rewire your brain
Summer Holidays
Thank fuck
She said
I’m getting away
I couldn’t take it
Another day
I’m so happy
He said
You’re visiting me
As I’ll help you forget,
Easily
Knowing My Luck
You need to try
He said
And find
Some peace
I’ll only get that
She said
When I am
Deceased
These Headstones Have Ears
Not here
She said
Let’s do this
In private
We can’t count,
After all,
On the dead
Staying quiet
And That’s Saying Something
You should get out
For a walk
He said
It’s great
For your mental health
I trust
Your poxy advice
She said
Even less
Than I trust myself
Fatal Errors
I don’t see
Too much damage
He said
You could get
Yourself on track
From all the shit
I’ve done
She said
There is
No coming back
Like A Bad Penny
Maybe
I should move
She said
Start again
Somewhere new
It doesn’t matter
Where you go
He said
The guilt
Will follow you
The Race Against Time
We should plan a trip
He said
Pick a place
Somewhere unique
Perhaps in different
Surroundings
We’d get a better
Chance to speak
I’m not really sure
She said
With my future
Looking so bleak
That I will even make
Tomorrow
Let alone
Next week
Lost And Found
There’s no need to worry
She said
I’m not quite on the brink
I just needed peace and quiet
So I came up here to think
Well, that is good to hear
He said
As I was getting quite concerned
And when I saw you leaning over
I have to say my stomach churned
I can see how it looked
She said
But you’ll be reassured to know
I didn’t have any real intention
Of actually letting go
Then, if that’s really true
He said
Let’s both just walk back down
I think I’d be far happier
To see you on solid ground
Bait And Switch
I didn’t believe in love
She said
Until my head
Was turned
Then I realised
How right I was
When I got
My fingers burned
Motormouth
I am always here
He said
If you ever want
To talk
We could sit
And have a coffee
He said
Or go out
For a walk
Thank you
For the offer
She said
But I’d really
Rather not
If I start taking now
She said
I don’t think
I’d ever stop
As Long As You Know
If I could love anyone
She said
Then it would be you
But what’s inside me now
Is broken
And there is nothing
I can do
Breakfast Conversation
As much as we had fun
She said
I am never
Drinking again
What on earth were we thinking
He said
Mixing grape
And grain
Under Pressure
I need time
To think it through
She said
It’s not that cut
And dried
Well you need
To hurry up
He said
As time’s not on
Our side
Signs Of A Misspent Youth
Have you done this before
He said
As you’re really rather good
Some things wouldn’t be right to share
She said
Even if I could
Glassy Eyed
This isn’t the most painful
She said
Or the worst hardship
I’ve endured
My armour’s doing fine
She said
Though I’m not too sure
About yours
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
Knowing Our Luck
Where will it end
She said
When will it all
Just stop
I’ve got no fucking idea
He said
But I know we’re both
For the chop
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
At The Latest
It’s brilliant that you came
She said
Now just relax
And enjoy yourself
Oh, I’ll certainly try
She said
Knowing she’d be out of there
By twelve
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
Blood Money
I can’t take it
She said
It doesn’t feel right
I’m really not proud
Of what I did
That night
You’ve no need to feel bad
He said
Or have any regrets
Just enjoy your freedom
As you’ve paid off
Your debts
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 Retort
Has it never occured to you
She said
Even after all this time
That maybe your mistrust
Fucked things up
And this is all your fault
Not mine?
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
Excess
What day even is it?
She said
As she opened the fridge door
I’ve got no idea
He said
But I can’t eat any more
The Local Lothario
I couldn’t get a photo
She said
But I promise you, it’s true
She was there legs akimbo
Lips stuck to his like glue
I cannot quite believe it
She said
He just doesn’t seem the type
But now that you have seen it
Does it live up to the hype?
Let me put it this way
She said
From the look upon her face
I think it would be safe to say
He doesn’t get many complaints!
I’ll Buy My Own, Thanks
What I’ve got for you depends
He said
On if you’ve been bad or good
I couldn’t give a fuck
She said
And haven’t since childhood
Age-Old
Do you know what I have learned
She said
In all my time here on this earth
Forget about the bridges you’ve burned
She said
And value your own self worth
Takes One To Know One
It strikes me as you speak
She said
Just how unhappy you are
And I haven’t even been
He said
That forthcoming so far
Is Depression Contagious?
Join me
He said
By the fire
It’s cold outside
And the rain, dire
Thank you
She said
But I’d better not
As you wouldn’t want
What I have got
The Bad Apple
I’ll always be like this
She said
Of that I have no doubt
Because there isn’t enough goodness
She said
To drive the badness out
The Perils Of Peer Support
I realise I fucked up
He said
When I wasn’t there for you
But I promise I’ll be here now
He said
And will help to see you through
All that shit is pointless
She said
We can’t go back in time
Just prioritise your own health
She said
And I’ll take care of mine
It Never Lasts
Things can only get better
He said
If you keep up this attitude
It’ll be gone within the day
She said
Along with my good mood
Fake As Fuck
That’s really amazing news
She said
I’m so very pleased for you
Now let’s just leave it there
She said
As you wouldn’t want the truth
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
To Care
You really shouldn’t wait
He said
Who knows what could happen next
It really wouldn’t matter
She said
As I’m far too fucking depressed
Better Eat Your Spinach
If you should ever fall
He said
Then I’d be here to catch you
Well you’ll need pretty strong arms
She said
With legs to match them too
What Do You Want From Me?
You don’t see it, do you?
She said
The sadness in my eyes
That’s because you hide it
He said
So you shouldn’t be surprised
Unqualified
If you needed help
He said
Why didn’t you just ask
Because I knew
She said
You weren’t up to the task
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
Clock Watching
I commend
Your curiosity
I absolutely do
The fact
That I’m not
Remotely arsed
Says far more
About me
Than you
A Well Trodden Path
Tell me about yourself
He said
I’m here to listen
Not talk
There’s nothing left to say
She said
As every ware I’ve had
I’ve hawked
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
No Means No
If we both stay here
He said
I fear my resolve
Will break
Let’s be very clear
She said
That’s not your choice
To make
The Corporate Ladder
Give yourself a break
He said
We can all see
You’re trying your best
I just can’t afford to flake
She said
With all these cuckoos
In the nest
Wronged Parties
I just don’t understand
He said
Why she would try to tear us apart
Because the cost of true love
She said
Is always someone else’s heart
