"All my life's buried here, heap earth upon it"
You can stop
Telling me
That it helps
To talk about
This shit
As you have
No notion
Of why
I’ve chosen
To keep
A lid on it
The Shrink
The
pain
is
buried
so
deep
She
said
I
don’t
think
it’ll
ever
re-surface
Then
we
should
leave
it
where
it is
He
said
Breaking
your
heart
(again)
isn’t
worth
it

I know you don’t want to hear it
But you can’t run before you can walk
There is no way to beat it
So it’s best to just sit down and talk
Cheats Never Prosper
If there is one thing
I have learned
It’s that you cannot skip
The stages
Even if that means
Moving forward
Feels like it’s taking
Fucking ages
If you jump
Too far forward
You’ll only fall
Further back
And all you’re doing
Is storing your pain
For further
Down the track

Not only was he handsome,
Smart and debonair
It also transpired
After he had inquired
That he was a millionaire
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
to hear
those
you’ll
need
pounds

Never
Do I feel this more
Than each time I walk
Through that door
Sown Up
I don’t feel better.
I haven’t forgotten.
I’ve just stopped telling you,
How I feel.

You’ve already kissed the Blarney Stone
She said
So let’s just call it a night
You’ve necked just as much as me
He said
And spoken as much shite!!
The Other Irish Rover
I’m
sorry
I told
you
I love
you
He
said
I
just
did it
for
the
craic
There’s
no
need to
apologise
She
said
Just
don’t
expect
I’ll
say it
back

And so they sat,
Together in time,
Talking until dawn.
Not just did they speak,
Of their lives past,
But also of those to come.
Past Lives
I think I remember you,
she said,
I think we’ve met before.
Perhaps it was when I was young,
she said,
and before my heart was sore.
I don’t remember meeting,
he said,
although I really can’t be sure.
Why don’t you sit down now,
he said,
and talk to me some more.

So many nights stood there with you
With so much forced conversation
When all I wanted to do
Was go home for a brew
And enjoy my hibernation
Let Me Go
Please
just
walk
away
from
me
And
take
yourself
off
home
I
do
not
want
to talk
to you
I
want
to be
alone

I know that here I come across
As someone who speaks their mind
But in reality
Words can often fail me
And my voice is much harder to find
The Jumble Sale
I rummage around inside my head as I search for what to say
But my silence means all you hear is I don’t want you to stay
I rummage around inside my head as I look down to the floor
But my silence means all you hear is I don’t love you anymore
What is painfully sad for both of us is neither of these things are true
But the jumble sale of words in my head prevents me from being honest with you

And now
that
I am
better,
it seems,
you have
taken a
turn for
the worse
But you
won’t talk
to me,
despite
my plea,
which
is really
the most
perverse
Crutches
I fear
I have
lent on
you once
too often,
and now
you are
as broken
as me.
I should
never have
asked for
your help,
to be
honest,
as now
you’ll never
be free.

No one talks about you
Anymore
It’s like you were never here
And for that
I’ll never forgive them
On all that I hold dear
Commitment
You were
always so
terrified
that I
would leave.
When,
after all
was said
and done,
I was the
only one
who stayed.

So I’m hearing you say you feel empty
He said
Could you expand further on this
Haven’t you heard enough
She said
To put an end to this bullshit
Such A Cliché
I don’t
know if
you’re
aware
She
said
But
I’ve
been
feeling
rather
down
Let me
fetch my
notebook
He
said
Reaching
forward
with a
frown

Don’t just fucking humour me
She said
Actually listen to what I’m saying
But my job is to indulge you
He said
Isn’t that why you’re paying?
There’s no point in us speaking
I don’t want to argue anymore
If you choose not to hear me
Then despite loving you dearly
I’m walking out the door
I can empathise
And respond in kind
Take my cue
From many a sign
But there is no way
I can read your mind
Down a silent
Telephone line
I’m not talking to you anymore
She said
You’re being ridiculously petty
If you’d have listened in the first place
He said
We could have been in bed already
I thought
If I told you
How I felt
That you
Would understand
But now I realise
I was wrong
So I’m stuck
In no man’s land
Maybe I could see a friend
Or give them a call instead
It must be better than wrestling
With these demons in my head
Tell me all about your life
He said
And what has happened to you
You’ll need to give me a minute
She said
To think all this shit through
I’m sorry I didn’t listen
He said
But I thought I knew it all
Now I’ll watch from the sidelines
She said
And cheer on your downfall
If only I could tell you
But you wouldn’t understand
I don’t know how to open up
Or even if I can
Sharing how I feel with you
Would be difficult at best
So I will just keep trudging on
With my cards close to my chest
Thanks for talking to me
He said
I hope it was of some worth
Thank you for listening
She said
It brought me back to earth
Why would you ask me
A question
If you don’t want to hear
What I say
It really is fucking
Annoying
That you feel you can treat me
This way
For someone who doesn’t care
You sure do talk a lot
If ever you need someone
You don’t have to worry
As I’ll be there
Like a shot
Please never question
If you can call me
As I’d rather listen to you
Than not
Will you just stop talking
He said
You’re driving me insane
If you’d just listen in the first place
She said
I wouldn’t have to say it again
In case you don’t come back
He said
You did really well today
Thank you very much
She said
But I don’t believe a word you say
I cry a lot more now
Even at the silliest thing
My therapist says it’s better
Than trying to keep it all in
‘Let your feelings slip boy
But never your mask boy’
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
Come over here
Let’s have a taste
It would be a shame
After all
To let this go to waste
