For Your Eyes Only

I read those letters

Yesterday

The ones I sent

To push you away

And yet you stayed

Seeing through my plan

And that is why

You’re my favourite man

For The Best

As wonderful

As one night may seem

I simply can’t agree

To such a scheme

As being with you

Even for a minute

Would leave a pile of shit

And me knee deep in it

Going, Going, Gone…

If only you could wait

She said

I’d make it worth your while 

As much as that appeals

He said

Hanging around just ain’t my style

Calling In Sane*

Why do we even bother

She said

When it’s such a fucking farce

It really makes you wonder

She said

How anyone can be arsed

Reassurance

All it really needed

Was for you to take my hand

To whisper to me, sweetly

And to say you understand

Bearing A Torch

As I run down
This darkened road
My heart beats fast
Ready to explode
Just thinking
Of what lies ahead

Little do I know
As I follow the flame
It’ll turn out to be
Such a shame
As you’ve walked
The other way, instead

Boring

If we ever

Met again

I’d explain why

I walked away

It wasn’t that

I didn’t want to chat

But I simply

Had nothing to say

2

Underneath It All

And when

I decide

To end it

Know there was nothing

You could’ve done

I just never, ever

Felt happy

I didn’t know how

To have fun

“Burn my body. Let the ashes blow. I am free.”

Dead Cert

You’re a gambling man

She said

What odds would you give me?

On you seeing it though

He said

I’d give you 2 to 3

In The Wings

If only

You would see me

The way

That I see you

But now you’ve gone

And married her

To wait

Is all I can do

Green Flag

It’s nice to have you around

She said

I feel better when you’re here

I wouldn’t be anywhere else

He said

I hope that much is clear

Starting Small

I know

You’re feeling anxious

I can sense

How scared you are

But if you

Can let me

I promise I’ll

Go gently 

And to barely leave

A scar

Purpose

You’ll never know

How many times

I wanted

To walk away

You’ll never know

How many times

You were why

I chose to say

2

SOS

Maybe it’s you

Maybe it’s me

Maybe we’re both

Just lost at sea

Limerence

Of all the men

It has been

There’s no one

That compares to

Yet of all the men

It will be

I must accept

It’ll never be you

Dark, Even For Me

It is

No longer

Up to me

It’s so

Far out

Of my hands

Now

I only hope

For a sturdy rope

And that,

One day,

You’ll understand

2

At The Altar

I really hope

You’ll meet me

And we’ll leave

Hand in hand

But the journey ahead

Is risky

So if not,

I’ll understand

Seeing The Light

I did

What I did

All those years

Because

I thought

I loved you

But now

I can see

How you

Treated me

And what a shell

That turned me

Into

0

A Fate Worse Than Death

I will always say

That I’m doing well

And that nothing

Could ever annoy me

Because if I didn’t

That look

On your face

Would absolutely destroy me

Respite

I thought of us

Again today

And, as always,

You made me smile

It was a welcome break

From all the heartache

Even if only

For a while

Un Merveilleux Malheur

I don’t think

I’ve missed you

More than I have

Today

There was nothing

I could do

To help push

These feelings away

And even though

It is now

Nearly twenty six years old

I have realised

My love for you

Will simply

Never grow cold

Soft As Shit

Happy Valentine’s Day

He said

Here’s a teddy

And some flowers

I’d rather go without

She said

Than have to sit with you

For hours
