Poet Introduction
LadyLoss is who I am when I don't want to be me anymore.
Breakdown of Communication.
I missed you baby,
Went crazy while you were gone,
Got real sad, did your phone die too?
Did you have a good time baby?
I'm so glad that you're home,
I'll see you Sunday,
I wish I could see you today,
What you doing tonight?
I really missed you'
'Yeah I missed me too.
I missed my bed'
'Oh, ok. I did what you asked,
I downloaded that app,
I put up the pictures,
I cleaned up while you were gone,
I made it all clean.
I got my results too,
I'm going to Uni,
I got my place.'
'Thanks for...

home
I live in an empty house,
There are people here,
But it's still empty.
I'm never enough,
I'm never wanted,
Never appreciated.
The TV echoes in my bedroom,
I turn to smile at someone who isn't there.
Because he's gone home.
Who knows how long for,
A week, a month maybe;
Maybe he'll come back tomorrow.
243 miles away,
He could be on the moon,
For all I know.
He's gone home.
I can't complain,
Is it shallow?
There was a death in the family,
And he missed the funeral
Because of...

All I've Done
All I've done,
Is search out answers I don't want,
Check facebook messages,
Check texts,
Check emails,
Searching for something I don't want to see,
But feel I have a right to know.
Is it really my business?
He's never been in love.
He never loved me.
So if he wants to fuck someone else in our bed,
Who am I to care?
It's not even our bed, it's his.
I don't live with him,
I don't go home to him.
He doesn't want me there.
I always thought I could love him enough for two.
Apparently not.

Mountains
In the middle of a mountain valley,
Everything is quiet,
Two people sitting opposite each other,
Not a word, completely silent.
Searching through each other's eyes,
Looking for something lost,
Wind rattles through a million trees,
Rattles through love's ghost.
It's nigh on 40 degrees,
But it's really cold right here,
Sitting opposite a stranger,
When it's a lover who should be near.
He texts someone else,
Wishing he was with his whore,
Sleeping in single beds,
Because I don't do it for him anymore.

Maybe it's true
I can pretend I don't care,
But maybe it's true.
Maybe I am a selfish cunt,
Who talks to people like shit,
Hides behind her fists and humour,
Can never have a friend.
Maybe it's true.
Maybe I do think about sex before all else,
Maybe I am heartless,
Maybe I do use women to massage my ego,
Maybe I do settle for him
Because no one else will have me.
Maybe it's true.
Maybe I shouldn't have given up giving up.
Maybe the scars on my arms
Are just proof that I'm attention seeking.
Maybe I need to take a look at...
But maybe it's true.

Decisions
Making decisions,
At a crossroads,
Given the chance,
I'd still love him.
But a decision needs to be made.
I always forgive,
Always forget,
Always apologise,
Draw a line under it.
But I don't know if I can this time.
Nobody's perfect,
Us least of all,
I never give up,
Unless I've walked all roads,
And no eventuality is fixing it.
This decision,
Needs to be made.
Give a 2nd chance,
He's given me 20,
But I never hurt him how he hurt me.
I don't know what to do.

Familiarity breeds contempt
You, you know everything.
You know me better than anyone.
And yet
You fuck me off.
You make me see red.
You do my fucking head in.
You are there when I need you.
You have been everything I needed you to be.
But you can't talk to me like that,
In front of everyone.
Just because you are who you are to me.
Don't fucking do it.
I won't let you any more.
You can try, my friend,
You can attempt.
But just remember,
Familiarity breeds contempt.
You know me better than anyone.

You fuck me off.

21st century break up.
A 21st century break up,
Is painful, needless, cruel.
Modern technology makes sure
We see every little detail,
Of the aftermath,
In cold words on a monitor.
A secret 21st century break up,
Is almost unbearable.
Sarcastic digs made on Facebook,
That only you'll understand,
Because all you ever were
Was a lie.
A 21st century break up,
With messages long since forgotten.
It's not an inbox anymore, it's a thread of
'I love you baby', 'I miss you baby',
'You are everything to me',
Slowly turning into...

Can't cope
Another tear,
Another sob,
Another fight,
And I can't cope.
Another scream,
Another shout,
Another word,
And I'll walk out.
Another mistake,
Another screw-up,
Another lie,
And I can't cope.
Another nightmare,
Another fight,
Another argument,
Neither of us are right.
Another break-up,
Another 'this is your fault'
Another heart broken,
Another plan changed,
Another key given back,
Another moving stuff out.
Another walk on the highest tight rope,
Another goodbye, ...

Saying Goodbye
Grinning, laughing, telling jokes,
Finishing last pieces,
Finishing paperwork,
Last looks around,
Last coffees and smokes.
Smiling, giggling, gossiping,
Making the most of the last few days,
Making the most of time still together,
Ignoring the impending end,
Ignoring the separate paths we're about to take.
Half hearted smiling, the odd chuckle, promising,
Giving out phone numbers,
Giving out false promises of keeping in touch,
Pretending it doesn't matter because we'll meet again,
Pretending in 10 years we'll still...

I want to
I want to get into that nice warm bed,
But there's a voice telling me I shouldn't inside my head.
I want to curl up next to him, remember how it was,
Before my mind was sown with seeds of doubt, when he was the only 'because'
I want to kiss him, say goodnight, he won't look at me,
But I think I've set the chains in motion, I'm unwillingly free.
I want to go get in to bed, tell him how sorry I am,
Plant a kiss between his shoulder blades and make him understand.
I will not crawl back into his bed,
No matter how much my heart garrottes my head.
