f**k love.
Abandoned.
Left all alone
to whither in my own misery.
Forsaken by the one held dear
for reasons unknown.
A knife plunged through my heart
would hurt no more than this
as the pain would be temporary
and could easily be fixed.
Wallowing in this emptiness,
finding my very own self pathetic,
wishing you were still here,
that you cared.
I'll grow out of you,
I'll force myself to.
Why should I care if you don't?
Fuck love.
Fuck miracles.
Fuck anybody who believes in them.
Fuck you.
Left all alone
to whither in my own misery.
Forsaken by the one held dear
for reasons unknown.
A knife plunged through my heart
would hurt no more than this
as the pain would be temporary
and could easily be fixed.
Wallowing in this emptiness,
finding my very own self pathetic,
wishing you were still here,
that you cared.
I'll grow out of you,
I'll force myself to.
Why should I care if you don't?
Fuck love.
Fuck miracles.
Fuck anybody who believes in them.
Fuck you.

Foolish feelings
Is love meant to feel like this?
Like you're being torn apart,
like you cannot breathe because
it stopped the beat of your heart?
Is love supposed to be despair
and loneliness within?
Is love meant to make you feel
as though you cannot force a grin?
I hate the way I'm suffering
and making myself ill;
I cannot eat for fear of puking,
I cannot smile at will.
I cannot even stop the tears
storming down my cheeks
and when I lie awake at night,
I wish to sleep for weeks.
Love has been unkind to me
in ways I cannot tell....

Dear Asshole,
Left alone for New Year's;
gah, you're fucking great!
You promised to call me every day
so I sit by my phone and wait.
But all I get's a single text saying
"Don't worry, I've landed safe"
and that is all I hear from you
for the rest of your fucking stay.
You're a selfish fucking liar
and after 14 months of "love"
I'd at least expect some form of respect,
but all you've done is shove me aside
because you have to get your priorities straight
and that's to fucking drink
your heart out until you're fucking drunk...
gah, you're fucking great!
You promised to call me every day
so I sit by my phone and wait.
But all I get's a single text saying
"Don't worry, I've landed safe"
and that is all I hear from you

You're a selfish fucking liar
and after 14 months of "love"
I'd at least expect some form of respect,
but all you've done is shove me aside
because you have to get your priorities straight
and that's to fucking drink
your heart out until you're fucking drunk...

Unverified existence
When I look into your eyes
I can tell your soul is tortured;
a thousand stories can be read
through just one gaze.
Always pained and always broken,
even when you smile
your eyes say you're choking
in a pool of your own regret.
At first I tried to please you,
make you smile and
take away all of your pain.
But it's not that easy.
I can read you all too well
and when you say you're "fine"
I know you're not
and that you just want to be left alone.
Leaving you is hard for me -
with all your mood...

Heartless
Writer’s block;
what a dreadful concept
leaving your brain rather
blank of ideas.
Quite a pain.
I’m full of emotion;
mostly anger towards you,
my grandfather – but I cannot
express it in words.
Could it be guilt?
This hatred I feel for you –
it seems to grow
each time I see you.
Yet I’m so happy I held back my punch today.
I don’t think I’d ever
forgive myself if I hurt you
despite the countless times
you pounded on your own son’s family.
You really are a dick.
I’m constantly...

Unforgotten memories
I miss the time we used to spend together -
the cuddles on cold winter days,
under blankets, with mugs of hot chocolate
and all those stupid movies you used to make me watch.
I used to cherish your soothing embrace
as that was all I needed to cheer me up
after a day of sheer torture.
Where is it now?
I can’t believe we never lasted,
after we vowed to be forever;
we even swore we would get married.
Foolish sixteen year olds that we were.
Time’s flown by, but I still miss you
and often wonder what life would be like
if...

For the Emperor!
As Space Marines we vow to you
that we’ll not rest until
all aliens have been purged
from every land whence they’ve converged
for your divine will.
With our Commander as our guide
and Cyrus with his nades,
with Tarkus and Thaddeus by our side
Thule will acquire our aid.
Our mission will not be in vain -
the tyrranids we’ll slay! -
and battlegrounds will thus be stained
while our lands we reclaim.
The heretic we will destroy;
with Avitus’ help
to the front line we will deploy
and make those mutants yelp.

No resistance
I'll put on my vulgar little corset
and daub make-up all over my face.
I’ll wear a skirt which barely covers my bum
along with a pair of 11 inch stilettos.
Maybe then you’ll notice me.
I’ll grow my hair down to my waist
so you have something to pull on
while you fuck me until you cum;
leaving me unsatisfied.
But you won’t really care.
I am just flesh to you;
the next thing on your ‘to do’ list.
And like a holiday destination -
the more you’re able to see, the better.
Doesn’t mean you’ll remember it though....
and daub make-up all over my face.
I’ll wear a skirt which barely covers my bum
along with a pair of 11 inch stilettos.

Pestilence
You enter people’s lives
with no discretion, no remorse.
You hit at unexpected times
and lead your bloody course.
No favouritism will you show;
anyone will do.
Your metastasis you will not slow
until a death is due.
I’m sick of hearing “just six months”
when lives have not been led.
I’m tired of drying tears up
’cause tumours have been spread.
I wish you’d leave us all alone
to live the way we plead.
If only families were less prone
to satisfy your greed.
I hate you, Cancer.
with no discretion, no remorse.
You hit at unexpected times
and lead your bloody course.
No favouritism will you show;
anyone will do.
Your metastasis you will not slow
until a death is due.
I’m sick of hearing “just six months”

I’m tired of drying tears up
’cause tumours have been spread.
I wish you’d leave us all alone

Transitory love
When I lie awake in bed
your words appear in my head:
For your love I’ll always fight,
to keep your smile shining bright.
We’ll cuddle until twilight time
and from our heads erase all crime.
We’ll be the perfect lovers, dear,
for I’ll not let you shed a tear -
I’ll treasure you until time ends
and ‘bove all else we will transcend.
I wonder if you feel this way
despite how far we went astray.
I wonder if you love me still
and all you’ve said you will fulfil.
I doubt it though.
For I feel I’m wasting hours...

Pris(o)m
I am not bloody perfect in every single way -
I do not kneel down each night before my bed and pray.
I’ve problems with my memory and remembering the day,
I cannot always turn around your day from being gray.
I cannot smile constantly and wish my pain away,
pretend everything’s great and that I’ve never been betrayed.
I cannot sit around and wait for the next sick game you play
just to fuck me up again, to lead my mind astray.
I’ll not be another puppet for your mantle to display,
list’ning to your bullshit, leaving me to my dismay.

The end of love.
Reckless, stupid and abusive;
love is wretched and elusive,
driving me to my own end.
Why this thing can we not mend?
You were my reason and my life,
but in my heart you thrust your knife.
Hysterical I have become
for together we were one.
But now I feel my heart, it's racing,
can't control it; feel like fainting.
Thrown into a dark abyss
where I long for one sweet kiss.
All you wanted was my trust,
yet too weak I, could not be just
and from an 'us', it became 'I'
so now my eyes will never dry.
love is wretched and elusive,
