Monogamy

After all is said and done

With battles lost and wars won

I’m starting to think differently

And relationships now are not for me


Expired

If you no longer love each other

Then what’s the fucking point

Just staying together to destroy each other

Noses always out of joint

Why not just call it quits

As it’s clear neither of you tries

That has to be better than being miserable

Until one of the two of you dies

No Hard Feelings

It wasn’t our time

Nor was it the place

But I’ll never forget

Your sweet embrace


The Reference

When it is

I see

Her next

I’ll be sure

To let

Her know

How you’re

Passionate,

Funny

And kind

And how

It hurts

To let

You go

“The Inexorable March Of Time”

That day

Still comes

Every year

Despite

My avoidance

As it

Draws near


One Year Ago

If I
just
don’t

Then
maybe
that

I’m

Well if that’s true

Then I promise you

There’s a fucking whirlwind

On the way


Penance

You’ll probably never see me again

And I’m quite happy with that

As it’s the very least you deserve

For being such an obnoxious twat

Puppy Love

Well I know exactly

What I think of you

All blotchy and balding

At forty two

Now I’m glad we split

At our old school gates

Back when I was seven

And you were eight


High School Reunions

I
wonder
what

You’d
think
of me
now

Fat,
forty

fucked

Would
you
still
love me
forever

Want
to be
together
whatever

Or be
thankful
for the
life

ducked

Self Improvement Isn’t Always Progress

I’ve really tried hard

These last few years

To become more authentic

But I fear in trying

To come out of hiding

I just look even more eccentric

Pull myself together

Whatever the weather

And just stop fucking moaning

To drop my hand

It was back then

When I had no choice

But to rely on pills

One to find a way

To get through each day

And several more

To help me rebuild

I think
we’ll
increase
your dose,

To stop
