A good cut and blow
To help restore
Your get up and go

So I’ll walk away
And say cheerio
To the girl

Now That’s Fucking Ironic
I shout and swear
About how you don’t care
And you just presume that I’m strong
Yet if you actually asked
It’s a one hundred percent fact
That I’d lie to you all day long
The Self Pity Party
So many nights I’ve cried,
Feeling dead inside,
Whilst wrestling with my neurosis.
Now I can’t help but discern,
Despite your care and concern,
That you haven’t even noticed.

An Expensive Distraction
It’s been nearly three weeks now
That I’ve been off the booze
Choosing to cope instead
With the pain in my head
By getting some new tattoos

‘Break On Through (To The Other Side)’
It is hard to accept
Death is the last
That nothing more
Will come to pass
There is no healing
Or making sense of it all
When you’re the one left reeling
On the other side of the wall
One Night In Heaven
Now
we’ll
never
hold
hands
again
Walk
in the

or
kiss in

Just

A Real Shitty Year
I probably did write this
On a Tuesday
Fuelled by coffee
And nicotine
But in truth
This could’ve been posted
On any given day
Back in twenty nineteen
Tuesday
I called in sick for work today.
My heart just couldn’t come out to play.
All I’ve done is lie in bed
Filled with thoughts of fear and dread.
With nausea consuming every movement,
My mood shows no sign of any improvement.
I hate existing like this.
Full of anger, self loathing and all that shit.
I wonder how much more emotion can I conceal
Before I decide to end it all for real

The Second Time Around
The first time
It was fine
As I was young and naive
I didn’t know
Where it would go
So it was easy to just believe
But now I’m older
And my heart colder
I need to be assured
That you intend
To keep up your end
Before my commitment is secured
Going Down The Rabbit Hole
If you don’t mean what you say,
Perhaps we should both just walk away.
Now.

Perhaps
I’ll find

To be fair

I wouldn’t need
To confess
As it radiates
From me
Like stale beer
And cigarettes
Emptiness

But the
desire now
I no longer
possess
Should you
ever try
your love
to profess
To this
emptiness

Sunday School
You know what they say
Doesn’t ring true
Yet upon it
You are told to rely
All those stories
Retelling past glories
But you’re not allowed to question why
What I’ve always wondered
Is who decided
Which one
Was the most hallowed
For I know
I needn’t look
To a fictional book
To guide me on moral code
False Gods

it
always

I’m not usually very good
With metaphors
But this one is pretty neat

Everything makes it worse
A body straining in first gear
But a mind stuck in reverse

And we

As does

So go try them out

Keep crying.

Whose presence elicits a grimace

Let alone
look you
in the eye
Please just
leave me
alone
For I have
