Not Quite Out Of The Woods

I didn’t consider

Killing myself today

So that has to be a plus

I did, however,

Consider killing you

So there’s still issues

To discuss

‘Living In A Fishbowl’

I’m finally closing the curtains

In the windows of my mind

Another bleeding heart

With wisdom left to impart

You will have to find

In Hiding

I prefer the night

To the day

The world, on the whole, is quieter

This way

The Godless Ones

Some find it easier to deify

Rules bestowed from up high

And trust in his miraculous plan

But I feel it wiser

To be your own advisor

Than rely on the thoughts of a man

Progress

I cry a lot more now

Even at the silliest thing

My therapist says it’s better

Than trying to keep it all in

Finally

I wonder what you’ll all say,

When I finally go away.

I wonder what you’ll all think,

When off into the shadows I slink.

I wonder if you’ll all stop and stare,

When you finally realise I’m no longer there.

Who Am I?

I think that I forgot myself

Somewhere along the way

So not only have I lost you

I’ve got a whole life to replay

Aftermath

Confusion reigns
As my head struggles to explain
What I feel inside my heart

Sadness remains
As with all encompassing pain
I hate that we have to part

Harbouring Secrets

You have no idea

As you sit here

With your good humour and wit.

Now let me be clear

Kindly fuck off my dear

‘Cause honestly, you don’t know shit.

If nothing else

Whistles And Bells

If only
I could 
wrap my
thoughts 

As 
neatly 
as my 
presents 

But 
paper, 
string and 
glitter 
bows 

Don't 
provide 
an adequate 
defence

Toy Soldiers

Did it ever occur to you

That I didn’t want you to know

What would you have done anyway

Other than used it as ammo

In this ridiculous war against me

That you felt the need to wage

Well I’m glad I never said a word

And from your battle disengaged

Sweet Nothings

Do
you
say
those
things

To
someone
else

Now
you
don’t
say
them
to me?

Does
it
make
me
pathetic

My
thoughts
so
frenetic

That
these
things
still
bother
me?
