Funny That

I’ve noticed

How you’re kind

He said

And always willing

To help

If you can be that way

With others

He said

Why can’t you be so

To yourself?

Loose Lips

Despite

What I said

I never loved you

To be honest

I barely cared

But in that second

My heart felt threatened,

Vulnerable

And scared

Yet to your credit

You took it well

And even managed

A smile

Still I think it best

To put this to rest

And not meet up

For a while

Safe Harbour

If

I ever

Need anything

You’re the one

I’ll always

Run to

The steadiest

Of ships

In a sea

Full of dicks

I’ll forever

Be grateful

For you

I’ll Never Forget

Fuck you

With your

“We didn’t know”

And “if we did we would’ve helped”

Yes,

Yes, you did

You knew

And you watched me struggle

Your hands

Wrapped

Around my neck

As you held me under

Face first

Like Torture

I couldn’t think

Of anything worse

Than having to endure

Yet another verse

Reading yours

Is always a pleasure

Yet writing mine

A painful endeavour

Tea & (a) Fruitcake

Why can’t it always be like this?

She said

So easy and carefree

Because you’re fucking nuts

He said

That’s clear for all to see

Dead Giveaway

I know

It’s easier

To think

I’m joking

That’s why

I use

That tone

Of voice

But you’ll

Soon see

I just

Wasn’t

Coping

And that

This

Was always

My choice

Getting Older

Isn’t this the part

He said

Where we sing, dance,

And make merry?

I’m not really sure

She said

That fun isn’t just

A red herring

Never In A Million Years

I know

You think

I’m better

She said

That I’ve spent

All these years

Healing

But just because

I don’t

Say his name

She said

Doesn’t mean

I’ve forgotten

A thing

Canto 38

You may say

It’s better

To have loved

And lost

Than never to

Have loved

At all

But if what happened 

To me

Happened

To you

You wouldn’t have

The fucking gall

Rewinding The Film

I don’t know

If I lost you

Or if

You were never

Really mine

Either way

You’re gone

So I’ll keep

Moving on

And maybe 

Figure it out

In time

The Parish Notice

Whatever

You’re running

Away from

There is no

Salvation

Here

All you will find

Is what you left

Behind

Still comes through

Loud

And clear

A More Accurate Verse

What happened to

“I’ll make you happy baby,

Just wait and see”

It’s been more like

“Give me an inch baby,

And I’ll take fucking three”

Bitter Clarity

Searching

For the answers

Trying to make it

All make sense

But there’s no peace

Of mind

When all you

Can find

Is the lack

Of recompense

Oh, The Irony

Don’t fall for it

Smiled The Charmer

It’s always me

I am the drama

“Infamy, infamy, they’ve all got it in for me…”

– Kenneth Williams (as Julius Caesar)

Thanks For That

What is the fucking point

She said

Now I’m knee deep in it?

Trying to put

My best foot forward

And wade through this sea of shit

Don’t ask me

He said

Drained

I wouldn’t have

Invited you

If I didn’t want

You to come

Plus, I can’t go home

On my own

As my batteries

Are done

Revenge

If only they

Could see us now

It would really

Boil their piss

The fact we’re friends

Having made amends

Really is

The coldest dish

Not Worth It

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

Bloody Hellfire

It was only

When my fingers

Were well

And truly burnt

That I realised

We were good together

Until we really

Fucking weren’t

Just So You Know

It was never

Real love

It wasn’t even

Infatuation

You were just a way

To brighten the day

And help offset

My frustration

False Pretences

Now that it’s all

Said and done

There’s still

One answer

I lack:

Why the fuck

Did you let me

Love you

If you didn’t want

To love me back?

Dead Cert

You’re a gambling man

She said

What odds would you give me?

On you seeing it though

He said

I’d give you 2 to 3

The Lies We Tell

Come on over

We’ll watch TV

I don’t expect

You to sleep with me

We’ll have pizza

And a drink or two

Then after that

It’s up to you

Spilled Guts

If only you knew

You’re heaven sent

How you just listening

Helps me to vent

But you never will

‘Cause I’ll never say

As I wouldn’t risk

You walking away
