Just as you
Start to think
You can cope
With anything
It comes along
To prove you wrong
And you’re left,
Reeling
"All my life's buried here, heap earth upon it"
Just as you
Start to think
You can cope
With anything
It comes along
To prove you wrong
And you’re left,
Reeling
I’m sorry
If I’m boring
And the conversation
Way too deep
It’s not that I like
Being awake
I’m just too scared
To go to sleep
I wonder will you catch me
He said
If I should stumble and fall
I don’t even think I’d bother
She said
Putting my hand out at all
Let us stop
Take a pew
There’s something
I need
To say to you
I have to ask
Now that he’s dead
Do you think
You could ever
Love me instead?
And when
That time
Rolls around
There will be
No hesitating
For when you,
Finally,
Decide to call
I will be here,
Waiting
I’m sorry
To be a burden
I don’t mean
To cause you pain
But I’ll be honest
I cannot promise
That I’ll never do it
Again
As I sit here
Listening
The conversation
A tad humdrum
I still recognise
Your voice,
It seems,
But not the person
You’ve become
I’ve forgotten
What you sound like
Now
And it cuts me
Like a knife
I’m not sure if
I can cope
With such a silence
In my life
The more
I think
About it now
The more
It’s clear
To me
That we were
Always
Meant to meet
But just never
Destined
To be
Xxx
I don’t really know
What happened
I’m not sure
Why I cried
Something
Just reminded me
Of how I felt
The day he died
You were amazing
With me
Your words
So soft and kind
Your touch
Helping to soothe me
Drying the tears
From my eyes
I know
That I struggled
To tell you
At the time
Just how much
I loved him
And truly miss
That man of mine
Yet what I’m sorry
I couldn’t say
But really
Wanted to
Is how happy
I know he’d be
To see
That I’ve found you
I knew it wouldn’t work
But I said yes anyway
I just needed to prove
That one afternoon
Couldn’t chase
My demons away
If only you
Could see me now
I’m sure
That you’d be proud
I think you’d agree
I’m as I should be
And you’d say you love me
Out loud
In another place
And another time
I’d be yours
And you’d be mine
But as we’re here
And the time is now
Seems we both
Have to settle
For just chatting,
Somehow
If only you could wait
She said
I’d make it worth your while
As much as that appeals
He said
Hanging around just ain’t my style
As the days
Get colder
And the years
Go marching on
I feel the joy
Of growing older
Is nothing short
Of a con
I did
What you wanted
I took you
To the brink
But you
Should know
That down below
I never
Felt a thing
Whenever I think
It might be time
To call
And apologise first
I remember how
You watched me struggle
And decided
To make it worse
Why don’t you just start small
He said
Take baby step, or two
Because to act like I’m over him
She said
Couldn’t be further from the truth
Although
Most days
Are no longer
That hard
Grief still
Finds a way
Of catching me
Off guard
Xxx
With all those years
That we were blessed
If you asked again
I’d still say yes
Xxx
If only you
Would ask me now
Instead
Of way back when
Because I’d say yes
And strongly suggest
That we stay anything
But friends
Thinking back
To that night
A split decision
And your plane
Took flight
If I’d known then
What I do now
I’d have grabbed
Your hand
And never
Let go
Please don’t think
That I’m not keen
Being intentionally rude
Or deliberately mean
I’m just not in the mood
To give you head
And I’d rather we watch
This box set instead
I’m not that girl
You used to know
I killed her off
Many moons ago
Now close your mouth
And dry your eyes
As life isn’t all beer
And scampi fries
It seems
The inevitable
Has happened
And I have finally
Gone mad
As I’m starting
To forget
The good things
Instead
Of just the bad
Another hour
Another day
Wishing I didn’t
Feel this way
Another second
Another minute
Life sure is shit
Without you in it
Xxx
When you said
I should leave
I did what
You asked me to do
I used that day
To run away
From everything
I knew
All those years
You took the blame
For me pressing
Self destruct
When, in truth,
It was just an excuse
That I used
To get fucked
When those thoughts
Enter your head
Do you cut them off
Stone dead?
Or do you sometimes
Squint through the blur
To see what a cunt
You really were
Now that all
Is said
And done
I know
That you
Were never
“The one”
Now I know
Why you left
Time
And time again
It wasn’t because
I wasn’t enough
You just couldn’t
Stand the pain
All that time
Now gone
To waste
Next time
I'll tell you
With infinite haste
