Mental Hangover
You can be my
Mental hangover.
You can be my drunken mistake,
For ever.
You can be my
Mental hangover,
For as long as you like,
I'll keep making the same mistake.
With people a little like you.
Dyed hair, originally ginger.
Little bit fucked up,
Cos that's how I like them.
I'll tell you about them,
Because you'll find it funny.
You'll laugh at me.
I'll pretend I'm the stud.
When really, I'm feeling quite shit.
Because whenever I'm with the latest,
I'm imagining you.
But, you'll hear my drunken...
Mental hangover.

Oh Shit.
Jolting awake,
There's an unfamiliar tattoo
Right where my lips were a minute ago.
I try to establish where I am,
Whilst trying to stop the room spinning,
And trying to work out
How the pickaxe got into my skull.
Oh shit, now I remember.
She seemed to be cool,
I think.
Ah, empty bottles,
That'd explain the headache.
She's not so bad
That I feel the need to chew my own arm off,
To escape.
And then, I remember her telling me she loved me.
After a couple of hours.
And her not letting me leave,
Oh shit. ...

I never
Have you ever,
Trusted someone implicitly,
Believed their lies,
Believed their stories,
For your sanity?
Have you ever,
Tried teaching someone
What they already
Knew, deep down.
No, I never.
It's just a
Silly drinking game,
Take a shot,
Take my heart.
Take my life.
Make yourself what
I know as
My all, everything.
I love you,
But that's nothing.
I love you,
You don't care,
What do I,
Say to you,
As you hurt.
Have you ever,
Believed that someone...
Trusted someone implicitly,
Believed their lies,

Need I Remind You
Need I remind you,
Of 800 texts in a week.
Of you boosting me up,
When I felt meek.
Need I remind you,
You were the one
Who gave me hope.
And now you're the one having fun.
Need I remind you,
You said you'd stay away,
And I agreed the same,
And things changed the next day.
Need I remind you,
Of the night I was with her,
Playing your messenger,
And now you're happy ever after.
Need I remind you,
Of the shit I wrote for you,
Just to cheer you up,
When you were feeling blue.
And now you've got...
Of 800 texts in a week.
Of you boosting me up,
When I felt meek.
Need I remind you,
You were the one
Who gave me hope.
And now you're the one having fun.
Need I remind you,
You said you'd stay away,
And I agreed the same,
And things changed the next day.
Need I remind you,

When I
When I drink,
I do it to forget your face.
When I leave,
It's to get away from a you-filled space.
When I smoke weed,
I do it to be able to laugh again,
When I text you,
It's to try and reach out to my once best friend.
When I am asleep,
It's you I dream of.
When I talk about an ex,
It's you, and I'm still in love.
When I drive for miles,
I do it to think of you,
When I drive past your house,
I drive past my home too.
When I look at other girls,
It's only to compare, ...
I do it to forget your face.
When I leave,
It's to get away from a you-filled space.
When I smoke weed,
I do it to be able to laugh again,
When I text you,
It's to try and reach out to my once best friend.
When I am asleep,

But No One Else
But no one else knows all your secrets.
But no one else's stomach churns,
No one else loses focus,
When you're in the room,
But no one else knows how this heart burns.
But no one else loves your perfume,
But no one else has seen you cry,
No one else needs
Your approval in everything,
But no one else asks why.
But no one else dreams of only you,
But no one else sees you every night,
No one else has you
As the voice in their head,
But no one else uses you to decide what is right.
But no one else touched...
But no one else's stomach churns,
No one else loses focus,
When you're in the room,
But no one else knows how this heart burns.
But no one else loves your perfume,
But no one else has seen you cry,
No one else needs
Your approval in everything,
But no one else asks why.
But no one else dreams of only you,
But no one else sees you every night,
No one else has you
As the voice in their head,
But no one else uses you to decide what is right.

Just Call Me Eddie
(This was written in an English class, whilst studying Blood Brothers by Willy Russell - that fact is relevant, honest)
I sit and write an essay, snigger at the irony,
An essay on a love triangle, between two best friends,
A fierce woman, and the animosity it ends in.
I snigger at the hypocrisy, of me putting in my two cents.
Calling a character called Eddie a selfless twat,
And me fiercely adamant, I'd never do the same.
I call Mickey selfish, say that they should both have stayed away
From a woman that would only end in tears.

Not brave enough
10 to 9 at night,
On a balcony by the beach.
Wind ruffling hair,
Misery sucking, like a leech.
Dragging on a cigarette,
In the freezing cold.
No one to talk to,
No one to hold.
Blue eyes streaming,
Tears turning to ice,
Each ignored message,
Another stinging slice.
Looking around,
Making sure no one's there.
No one to stop it,
No one to care.
Faces running through a mind,
No one jumps out,
Walking towards the shoreline,
Not a single shout.
The waves lap at leather clad feet,
Still not...
On a balcony by the beach.
Wind ruffling hair,
Misery sucking, like a leech.
Dragging on a cigarette,
In the freezing cold.
No one to talk to,
No one to hold.
Blue eyes streaming,
Tears turning to ice,
Each ignored message,
Another stinging slice.
Looking around,
Making sure no one's there.
No one to stop it,
No one to care.
Faces running through a mind,
No one jumps out,
Walking towards the shoreline,
Not a single shout.
The waves lap at leather clad feet,

This is war, this is love.
It's like putting myself in the firing line,
With a spud gun to defend myself.
Like cuddling up with polar bears,
Wearing board shorts and a tank top.
Like stepping into the ring,
With a pair of wool knit gloves.
If only they'd all warned me,
This is war, this is love.
Like standing in front of tsunami,
With a rubber ducky inflatable ring,
Like standing at the top of Vesuvius,
With sunglasses and factor 10.
Like tackling emphysema,
With a handful of cigarette stubs,
If only they'd warned me,
This is war, this is...
With a spud gun to defend myself.
Like cuddling up with polar bears,
Wearing board shorts and a tank top.
Like stepping into the ring,
With a pair of wool knit gloves.
If only they'd all warned me,
This is war, this is love.
Like standing in front of tsunami,
With a rubber ducky inflatable ring,
Like standing at the top of Vesuvius,
With sunglasses and factor 10.

For me
Waking up from a dream,
About someone I used to know,
With a steadfast man at my side.
He know all of my flaws,
All of my imperfections,
And he still has all of the time in the world,
For me.
He may have wandered,
From time to time,
We both drifted apart simultaneously.
Learnt to carry on for when we
Were each others priorities again.
And now, I'm his again, he was made
For me.
It's not a relationship,
It's a meeting of minds.
We both have the same discrepancies
On our records.
Both misbehave in...
About someone I used to know,
With a steadfast man at my side.
He know all of my flaws,
All of my imperfections,
And he still has all of the time in the world,

He may have wandered,

We both drifted apart simultaneously.
Learnt to carry on for when we
Were each others priorities again.
And now, I'm his again, he was made

Her
I really want to be thinking of you,
With every lyric of every song.
I really want to be dreaming of you,
Dirty dreams, dreams oh so wrong.
I really want to see your face everywhere,
Want to want you to look after,
But I don't.
I want it all from her.
I really wish it was you I could see,
The only face in the crowd.
I really wish you were the only voice I could hear,
Above all of the other babble, too loud.
I really wish it was you that gave me butterflies,
Really wish yours were the meanings I infer,
It's doing my head...
With every lyric of every song.
I really want to be dreaming of you,

Not Good Enough, Do It Again
15 hours on this fucking essay,
And you just hand it back with a valedictory
'not good enough, do it again'
You're seriously failing me for having my own ideas?
For using big words of my own,
Not quoting just to bulk up the word count?
Funny how it's mine you fail.
All I'm getting is
'not good enough, do it again'.
1500 words on a 19th century novel;
'not good enough, do it again'.
2000 words on religious poetry;
'not good enough, do it again'.
2500 words on social inequalities;
'not good enough, do it again'.
3000 words...
And you just hand it back with a valedictory
'not good enough, do it again'
You're seriously failing me for having my own ideas?
For using big words of my own,
Not quoting just to bulk up the word count?
Funny how it's mine you fail.
All I'm getting is
'not good enough, do it again'.
1500 words on a 19th century novel;
