Shall
we
run
away
She
said
To
where
we can
both
be free?
You
don’t
have
to ask
me twice
He
said
I’ll
go fetch
the car
key
Just Saying
Focus
on what
you can
control
And
leave
behind
what
you
can’t
That
way
you’ll
find
Bob’s
your
uncle
And
Fanny
really
is your
Aunt
‘… 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
Story Time
You don’t
laugh much
do youHe
saidI’ve hardly
ever seen
you smilePerhaps
you might
understandShe
saidIf you
sit with
me awhile
(Mis)fortune
Love is
contagious
But so
is herpes
GameFace
All I do is let
people downThey want
me to smileBut I can
only frownFor I no longer
have the energyTo be the person
they want me to be
Emotional Flux
The guilt
I feel
when
I smileConsumes
my day
and nightPerhaps I
should
just wait
a whileBefore
thinking
it’s alright
Pout
It
hurts
to smile
After
a
while
So you
start
to pout
As your
insides
turn out
Your Smile
Even though
my heart
currently
resides
in the
deep freeze
Your smile
still has
the power
to make
me go weak
at the knees
Cops & Robbers
Caught with
my hands
in the
sweetie jar
I retreat,
shamefaced,
when I
hear a
police car…
Who the
fuck has
called
the cops?
I’ve only
stolen
a couple
of pear
drops…
Getting Dressed
I could
put on
a smile
Or put
on a
dress
But why
should I
bother?
Who is
there to
impress?
The Knight
You would come charging in on your white horse
Thinking you’re going to save the world, of course
But you’ve got nothing to offer underneath all of that armour
You don’t fool me, you know, you little charmer
Grief 101
Just smile and nod
Even if what they say
Makes no fucking sense.
It’s better to be polite,
After all,
Than to punch people
In the face.
For You
I’ll smile today, for you.
But I won’t mean it.
I’ll laugh today, for you.
But I won’t feel it.
I’ll fake it every day, for you.
But you’ll never know it.
