"All my life's buried here, heap earth upon it"
It would not be
That unusual for me
To view my own mental health
As simply cliché
And to explain it away
As just feeling sorry for myself
The Gloom
Does it
follow me
Or do I
chase it
Either way
around
It’s still
pretty shit

It’s alright for you
As all you need to do
Is remember him
On special occasions
Well I feel that way
Every fucking day
So you’ll never know
My frustrations
Clueless
You
think
you
know
But
you
have
no clue
What
I’ve
had to
let go
Or
what I
still go
through

Check in with your family and friends
Make sure they know you are their ally
As you can’t always tell
Who on the outside looks well
But on the inside wants to die
The Passing Samaritan
I
really
can’t
explain
it
This
feeling
I have
inside
I
just
don’t
want
to be
here
And,
God
knows,
I’ve
tried

This is an interpolation
Or is it just out and out theft
Either way we know
Without the modifications below
That my lines would be bereft
Something Old / Something New
I wandered lonely as a cloud
Screaming the words fuck you out loud
As, like the night, she walked in beauty
I wished someone would just come along and shoot me
As I, in the wood, took the road less travelled
I sat and cried as my mind unravelled
And as we talked between the rooms
I closed my eyes and succumbed to the fumes

Three years on
And here I am
Having been kept waiting
With my life on hold
My heart stone cold
And my tears still accumulating
Tell Me
Do
these
tears
ever
stop?

If anyone asked
About my rhymes
I would most likely show them this
It’s an apt expression
Of my abject depression
And defines my blog’s premise
Innards
Like a
bird
Trapped
in it’s
cage
I sing
of love
and
lament
Bleeding
both
Introspective
rage
And
embittered
discontent

It isn’t that you lied,
It’s that I believed you.
That’s what hurts.

I really
cannot
stay,
she said,
it is time
for me
to go
back
It’s the
only way,
she said,
to get
my life
on track
I will come
with you,
he said,
you needn’t
be on
your own
I’m here to
help you
through,

so you’ll
never

I reckon I could melt it

Just by using my hands for warmth
I’m pretty sure at this point
She said
You’d need at least a fucking blowtorch

One
touch
Is
not
enough
I’ll
need
much
more
For
my

I sound like such a strumpet
In some of these lines I write
But I can promise you
The actual truth
Is that I am alone most nights
Rolling In The Hay
Looking
up at
you
Looking
down
at me
I know
this is
where
We’re
supposed
to be

You lost the rights
Of a confidente
When you sold me down the river
Content to stare
Without a care
As I stood there and shivered
So I’ll never again
Confide in you
On that I will deliver
For all my trust
Has turned to dust
As our friendship has now withered
On Silent
Don’t
bother to
phone me
As I’ll
just watch
it ring
I will not
answer
to you
Or
tell you
anything

Another well meaning question
Asked way too expectantly
Answered without hesitation
Although far too respectfully
Tight Lipped
I am
not
trying
to be
mean
Or to
cause
yet
another
scene
So before
my fuse
is well
and truly
blown
Please
just piss
off and
leave me
alone

If I revealed
The truth about me
It would shatter the illusion
Now, I know you’d say
You wouldn’t care anyway
But I couldn’t deal with the conclusion
For Our Own Good
You never
see the
worst of
my illness
because
I hide it
from you
For you
to know
the truth
about me
would
completely
tear me
in two
So I’ll
paint
on a
smile and
pretend
that I’m
fine
For
doing so
protects
both
your
sanity
and mine

It still amazes me
To this day
That you even read my rhymes
Don’t get me wrong, my friend
It pleases me no end
But I do worry about you, at times
Wonderland
It’s nice
to think
I matter
That what
I feel is
shared
But really
I’m as mad
as a hatter
Surely no one
else is this
impaired?

I must be one of those people
Who really gets off on pain
As since he died
On this song I’ve imbibed
Again and again and again
Masochism
Every time
I hear
this song
It brings
tears to
my eyes
And pain
to my
heart
A reminder of
all I’ve come
to despise
And how
we’ll forever
be apart
I should
just press
stop
Switch
off the
laptop
And
walk
away…

I’ve picked up a few
Tips and tricks
Over the years
That I’ve been hurting
And although some work
My demons still lurk
So I’m never too far away
From reverting
Harm Reduction
I’ve been
trying
so hard
to break
this chain
So I’ve
drawn on
my arms
with Biro
again
At least,
this time,
it’s just
a token
And my
skin,
for now,
remains
unbroken

I’ve felt this way
For some time now
And yet I still plod on
Perhaps this is just
My normal now
And it’s hoping for more that’s wrong
Zestless
Finally
dropping
into
bed
Knowing
I couldn’t
have done
any more
There is
no point
in setting
an alarm
As
there’s
nothing
to wake
up for

When he said I had three wishes
I thought I’d won the lottery
That he would now provide my chance
To finally be free
If only I had known then
Exactly what would come to be
As all those wishes bought about
Was pain and misery
The Lamp
I should
have been
more careful
With what
it was that
I wished
for
Because
I never
wanted it
to end
In this
way
at all

No one could ever accuse me
Of division or discrimination
For I can pour my vitriol
Without any kind of limitation
Fact
Oh,

just hate
you
I

If only I’d tried harder
I could have fought you more
If only I’d been smarter
I could have won the war

Pull down the stars
Put out the sun
I’ve had enough
You have won

It was never
Going to be you
Not that I
Would’ve wanted to
It was always just
You reminded me
That there would be other
Fish in the sea
Indebted
Thank
you so
much
for
being
you
Otherwise
I’d still
be wandering
around
without
a clue
Waiting
for
the days
not to
feel
so blue
And
hoping
to find
a love
that’s
true

I am pretty sure
I’ll give up soon
When I find a moment
That is opportune
I’ll say goodbye
Just after nightfall
And put down my pen
Once and for all
Done In
There’s
only so
much I
can write
Before
I go
to sleep
tonight
My
eyes are
heavy and
overtired
My
heart is
weary and
overfired

You will feel much better
She said
After a drink and something to eat
There’s no point in feeding me up
She said
For I have accepted defeat
Little Miss Pitiful
Too busy to stop,
Too bored to stay.
Too broken to fight,
For yet another day.

You there
Number two
You look like
You might do
And you standing
At the back
It seems like you
Could be good craic
I’ll also have you
Number seven
With your cheekbones
Straight from heaven
And lastly you
Against the door
I feel you could offer
Me a little more
So all of you please
Step to my boudoir
And we’ll see who gets
To baise moi, ce soir
The Auditions
One step
Two step
Three step
Four
Just
Keep
Walking
Towards
The
Door
Five step
Six step
Seven step
Eight
You
Could
Never
Be
My

To keep on spinning
It’s no wonder that I
Never feel like I’m winning

Head racing

So many

So many
lions

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

I
just
did it
for

There’s

Just

Not a method I would choose
In reality
As I’d care about the driver
Far more than I ever could me
The Railway Line
I
shouldn’t
need to
tell you
again
You
must
already
know
I
don’t
want to
be here
anymore
Please
just
let me
go

All those little things
That you think matter
Mean literally nothing
When your heart is shattered
Flowers
You never
once
bought
me flowers
Which used
to make
me mad
Now I don’t
give a fuck
about any
of that stuff
I just
want you
back

Not the North Sea, mind
It’s far too fucking cold
Somewhere in the Med, perhaps
Underneath a sky of gold
Landlocked
If only
we could
just drift
away
to sea
Instead
of being
trapped
here in
misery

Our plan was hatched
And opportunity set
But then you went and spoiled it
By playing hard to get
Clandestine
Let’s

up
And
misbehave
Then
take
our

To the
grave

Perhaps

Over one thousand lifetimes
My answer would always be no
For it doesn’t matter
How much you flatter
I’d never again stoop so low
The Hopeless Romantic
You’ll
never
be the
one for
me,
So why
can’t I
just
leave
it alone?
Why do
I keep
getting
my hopes
up,
When
you’ve
made your
feelings
known
