The Recluse
I am of a certain age,
Where I'm expected to go out and rave,
But all I want to do, is sit and chill,
20 years old and I've had my fill.
'I'm off partying', and I'm out the door,
And I really shouldn't lie anymore.
My lies are quick as cunning as a fox,
So I can have a few hours to play on my Xbox.
Escaping to a virtual life,
Saving the world isn't really strife.
With my faithful bottle of Pepsi max,
My life is great, how can you beat that?
There are a few things missing, that's true,
But when I'm a hero on this...

First-Class Procrastinator
My laptops's fan is whirring away,
An unfinished essay on the screen.
Two thirds done, and I've ground to a halt,
I can't remember what I mean.
I'll just check my Facebook,
Just mess around on my phone,
I'm procrastinating now,
Ignoring the drone.
I'm just gonna go for a quick cigarette,
Just gonna go get something to eat,
Just gonna have a quick shower,
To cool down in the summer heat.
Ok, so I've smoked, showered and eaten,
Now back to the damn writing
Errm... Now I need a drink, so thirsty,
I... Er......

I remember silly things.
My memory is to be cursed,
It makes me a masochist.
It makes me remember certain dates,
Of certain happenings.
It makes me remember first impressions,
First words, first meetings,
First coffees, first long talks in the summer sun.
I remember silly things,
Like when you were blonde,
And you didn't smile.
Until I made you laugh.
And you were harsh,
Until I gained your sympathies.
And I couldn't stand you,
Until I adored you.
I remember silly things,
Like us sitting in the courtyard.
Me chain smoking, ...
It makes me a masochist.
It makes me remember certain dates,
Of certain happenings.
It makes me remember first impressions,

The Defendant Pleads Guilty.
Your honour, you need to understand,
The crime I committed was at someone else's hand,
I plead mitigating circumstances, I plead insanity,
Please, don't lock me up and throw away the key.
It all started on a December day,
When she noticed that I wasn't okay.
That was her fault, I maintain,
Without that, I could have refrained.
After that, your grace,
All I could see was her angelic face.
And then I found myself falling,
Doing anything for the sake of time stalling.
See, your honour, it wasn't me,
I couldn't care...

Elsewhere
My mind is elsewhere,
When I'm cuddled up with him,
My intentions, completely dishonest,
Picturing you whilst I do unspeakable things.
My body belongs elsewhere,
Matter of fact, right next to yours,
Baby, just hold me like you used to,
And I'll pretend I want no more.
My hand, in his, needs to be elsewhere,
Preferably, making you stutter,
I just want to be using it you,
But instead, merely a dark mutter.
The only woman to ever touch me,
The only one to ever return the favour,
You have been the only touch, ...

Things have changed
You don't find me funny anymore,
You're not there to dry my tears,
I'm not important to you now,
You've confirmed my worst fears.
When you're there, you're somewhere else.
Your mind is miles away,
You don't see my argument,
You don't see how things have changed.
Look at me when I'm talking to you,
At least pretend you can hear me,
Don't you dare act innocent,
Hello, I'm over here, can't you see?
Things are different now,
I can't help feeling I'm to blame,
I'm trying so hard to fool myself,
That things...

Words won't come
The words are escaping me,
I haven't got the heart,
Trying to feel how I felt,
Before our start.
The words have just left,
Almost exactly like you,
I'm trying with the other girls,
I'm doing the best I can do.
The words won't come to me,
They're running away ASAP,
They're sprinting at full speed,
I just set them free.
The words won't do me any favours,
The words won't twist my way,
Trying to bend them to will,
But they're just twisting out of shape.
The words refuse to talk to me,

That Didn't Work
I am feeling the need to reevaluate
After I was told my behaviours unattractive,
So I'm trying to work out,
Which behaviours are seductive.
Being friendly, there for you,
Reassuring when you cry?
There when you need me,
Never asking why?
Nope, that didn't work.
Being funny, making you laugh,
Cracking the worst jokes?
Sarcastic comments, private jokes,
Laughing so hard you thought your ribs broke?
Nope, that didn't work.
Trying to charm you, talking you up,
Defending you with no second thought. ...

Take it all
You want my hand?
To hold, or to squeeze?
To crush all the bones in my hand?
Or just to stroke it with your thumb?
Here, take it.
You want my body?
To caress, or to beat?
To leave bites, bruises and scratches?
Or to lay next to yours and be admired?
Here, take it.
You want my mind?
To screw with it, or improve it?
To send mixed signals, to confuse me, to hurt me?
Or to let it be distracted with beautiful thoughts?
Here, take it.
You want my heart?
To care for it, or just to ruin it?
To take it,...

Stay away from my fish!!
There a million and one fish in the sea,
For some obscure reason, that fishy picked me.
Now I'm not perfect, I don't claim to be,
But I'm so damn close, sometimes it scares me.
Before you all say, but LadyLoss, what about the girls?
I refer you to my earlier work 'Best of Both Worlds'
My fishy lets me have all the girly fun I like,
And then wonder why I get classified as a dyke...
But that's irrelevant, nothing to do with it,
Because I only go near if it's justifiably fit.
But, anyway, in the long run, I digress, ...

I Trusted You
At what point
Do you cut
A person off?
At what point,
Do you stop,
Fixing their mistakes?
At what point,
Do you stop
Bailing them out?
I trusted you.
I threw myself in,
To your tangled mess,
Stood by you unwaveringly.
Put my name to
A legally binding contract
Certain they were lying,
Certain you were honest,
Put my name in
The system so you
Could live your life.
How stupid do I look?
Standing by you, a recidivist.
Repeat offender, yes, criminal? Maybe.
Sex offender? Never, I...

Schmoo's Slippers (no, that's not a euphemism)
Recapturing a friendship,
Is like finding your old slippers,
And when you find them,
They are usually right under your nose.
And you're all 'how did I ever live without these slippers?!
Because they're comfy,
They're warm,
They fit.
And despite yourself,
You are crazy about these slippers.
They are 'I can conquer the world' slippers.
Ok, my metaphor's a bit crap.
Who compares their best friend to slippers?
Me, apparently.
Ok, I'll try it a bit differently,
In a way only my slippers,
Shit, I mean my best friend, ...
