I Tried To Warn You

She never did see it

And now you’re apart

You have been left

With wounds that smart

If only you’d listened

To my remark

You could’ve saved yourself

The broken heart


You Deserve More

I wish you
could see
yourself with a
different view

And know
there are so
many things to
love about you

My only hope
is that she
will see it
again soon too

Then perhaps
you could both
just stop
making do

You’ll Keep

I used to care

About the truth

That the world should know

About my abuse

But I’m a better person now

Than those liars and frauds

So I’ll happily stay quiet

About my in laws


The Silver Medal

This
was
hardly
a fair
fight

And
we
both

who
rightfully
won

Yet
I’ll
step
graciously
aside

you

As
one
day
the
truth
will
come

Bleeding Fingers

I can actually remember this

Like it was yesterday

That night when I

Had had enough

And finally walked away


A New Dawn

Everything
changed
when I
walked out
of there

The feel of
the breeze
and the
warmth
of the air

For once
in my life
I just
stopped
fighting

And I
suddenly
found life
much more
inviting

Autopilot

Grief doesn’t come with a manual

And neither, you’ll find, does life

So you just have to go on

Now they’re gone

And hope that you stay alive

It
would
be
like
this

Whatever

Losing That Loving Feeling

Are you sure that you’re done

She said

You’re not even up for a fling?

I am absolutely sure

He said

I’m no longer ‘up’ for anything


A Solo Affair

I’m fine
by myself
without
all of
that

Just me
here
alone
in my
own flat

I don’t
need to
feel anyone
else’s

As frankly
I never
really
liked it
much

Liberation

Best thing I ever did

Was to cut you dead

Not just out of my life

But also out of my head


Done

Fuck you,

And your pathetic little smile.

Fuck you,

And your supercilious bile.

Fuck you,

And your disingenuous chatter.

Fuck you,

For you no longer matter,

At all,

To me.

All of that promise

On display

It’s such a shame

It ended that way

And now love’s young dream

Has faded away

It’s
not
about

Go have myself a field day

But some such stories

Of our former glories

Are more significant than others

When I saw you

I couldn’t help

Probably because

A Younger Model

Will you still love me

When I am old and grey

Will you still want me

To touch you in that way

Will you still need me

To kiss you goodbye each day

Or will you just find someone else

And simply walk away

If I just stopped

And my guard dropped

Then all hell would break loose

If I

I have just gone back

To pretending now

Convincing you that I

Am worth it, somehow

I’ve worked too hard

To let it go to waste

As this persona has taken

A lifetime to create


The Truth

You

You

All came back with a vengeance

I Haven’t Got It In Me

I doubt I’d manage a short story these days

Never mind anything more

Writing three or four lines

Is a struggle at times

So a novel seems too much to hope for

novels

All
about

And

I guess

Looking back

You can’t be sure

Why you did the things you did

Reflection, it seems,

Isn’t for the dead

It is the curse

For those who live

miss
you

I
miss
us

I wish we
could just
go back

To
how it
was

Before
all
of this

Before

And we
were
happy

Because
we were
happy

I

He’d hurt my friend

To let him know how much he’d upset her

It’s the importantance of a will

As without such frugality
