I Didn’t Believe You Anyway

Remember

When you told me

I’d never get hurt again

That it didn’t matter

How my heart was shattered

As there wouldn’t be

Any more pain

Well, you lied

This is worse

Like Candy From A Baby

You seem to spend more time

Smiling

He said

Than you ever did

Before

I’ve just gotten better 

At hiding

She said

So you won’t ask me

Anymore

“You Wouldn’t Understand…”

You want advice?

I’m full of it

She exuberantly claimed

On any topic or theme

I can intervene

And so help to ease your mind

I can think of nothing worse

She sighed

Than spilling my guts to you

Because all I’d hear back

Is a load of crap

From your asinine point of view

6

Like Arseholes

Suggestions on what

To do and not

Believe me,

I’ve had a billion

But remember that

What you state as fact

Is just

Your fucking opinion

2

Unqualified

If you needed help

He said

Why didn’t you just ask

Because I knew

She said

You weren’t up to the task

0

Premature

I know your heart’s

In the right place

And that deep down

You mean well

But your good intentions

Mean nothing

While I’m trapped

In this hell

Two Cents Worth

It will get better with time

They lied

Before my tears

Had even dried

If Only For A Minute

I saw you just

Sitting there

All alone

And looking scared

So I thought

I’d offer

A kind word or two

In the hope

You might stop

Feeling so blue

A Forgone Conclusion

It’s
very
nice of
you to
be kind

But
please,
don’t
pay me
any mind

For
I am
now
a cause
that’s
lost

As
onto
the
pyre my
heart’s
been
tossed

‘Blue Christmas’

It’s the time of year

Again

For that age old

Platitude

The one I’m expected

To receive

With a kindly

Gratitude

“It must be hard for you”

They say

“Especially at this time of year”

I want

To say

It’s hard

Every day

But that’s not

What they want to hear

Who The Fuck Are ‘They’ Anyway?

Time heals

Or so they say

Well, let me tell you

They fucking lie

Time does nothing

But march on

And you’re left

With no right to reply

Not The Right Time

I’m sure you didn’t mean it

That way

That you were just trying

To help me through

But wheeling out those lines

As I lost my mind

Did nothing

But make me hate you

Know-It-All

What
doesn’t
kill me
might
make
me
stronger

But
it
also
makes
me
sick

So
you
can
shove
your
aphorisms

Up
your
arse

You
condescending
prick

Console(d)

I wrote this one

When I went back into the office

Although the thought of working

Left me feeling nauseous

I knew I had to return

And get it out of the way

But nothing really prepared me

For that difficult first day

All those well meaning people

Whose lives hadn’t changed a bit

All approaching me awkwardly

Asking how I was coping with it

Was there something they could say

Or anything they could do

Telling me they were here for me

Making sure that much I knew

I remember hiding in the bathroom

Just for a bit of peace

Hoping that back at my desk

Their annoying behaviour would cease

Then one day their fawning stopped

Like enough sympathy had been shown

And those incessant space invaders

Began to leave me the fuck alone

Space Invader

I know you are bored,
I know you are curious,
I know you are lonely,
but please,
just fuck off
and leave me alone.

Well Meaning

I was thinking

Earlier on today

How it really

Would be nice

To go at least

One day

Without

Your bullshit advice

22

Leave Me Alone

Although the walls

Are closing in

I’ve no desire

To leave

I don’t understand

Why you find that

So fucking hard

To believe

12

Rest In Peace

Someone
sent me
flowers
today

And for
their
kindness
I was
thankful

But
I still
chucked
them
in the
bin

For of
condolences
I’ve had
a tankful

15

Let Me Go

Please
just
walk
away

And
take
yourself
off home

I
don’t
want to
talk

I
want
to be
alone
