POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Just a shell
Iv'e got to admit, I don't feel very well
Having to exist in this cold empty shell
This cold empty shell, totally hollow inside
No heart, no life, not an echo of pride
Just a flickering light that could blow out anytime
A flickering soul that's all that is mine
With a huff and a puff, thats all it would take
And my light would go out and never again would i wake
Having to exist in this cold empty shell
This cold empty shell, totally hollow inside
No heart, no life, not an echo of pride
Just a flickering light that could blow out anytime
A flickering soul that's all that is mine
With a huff and a puff, thats all it would take
And my light would go out and never again would i wake

Never to be
Thank you for seeing deep into my heart
and thank you for living although were apart
for you saw my soul and you gave it a start
and now i see clearly and i see your a tart
but you are just you and i am just me
two opposite ends that just never could be
my feet's on the ground while your head's in the clouds
just so far apart and that's just not allowed
like two facing magnets both pushing away
both pushing each other each and every day
you argue your point even though you are wrong
refusing to see what was right all along
so set in your ways...

You
As I lay alone in bed
Thinking of the things left unsaid
All the changes thats should have been
Were never done & never seen
My whole life was taken out of my hands
The hardest thing is that no-one understands
Of all the things that i kept inside
Deep deep down is where they still hide
Until such a time that they can come back
Yet there will forever be something that i lack
My heart & soul that i gave away
I never got back & dont want anyway
Because that heart was broke beyond repair
My soul is gone...

NEVER
People say "Never say never" but I never agree
Because never again will I be where I wanna be
Never to hold, never to live
Never have love so never could give
Never again will I ever go there
To that place where I was, a place without a care
Never could be and never could feel
What I had inside, so unbelievably real
Never again content and constantly blue
Cos I know never again will I have you
Because never again will I be where I wanna be
Never to hold, never to live
Never have love so never could give
Never again will I ever go there
To that place where I was, a place without a care
Never could be and never could feel
What I had inside, so unbelievably real
Never again content and constantly blue
Cos I know never again will I have you

We don't get together as much as we should
And taking things slow is well understood
So when we are together we should both get a grip
Of the time that we have and have lip stuck to lip
I want both of us to be filled with delight
And make passionate love to you the rest of the night
Cos for us to be joined would make me so glad
To give you the best 15 seconds that you've ever had !!

Inside Me
I always find it helps to write down how i feel
But i keep asking myself, do i have enough time to heal
A lifetime of love is stored inside this heart
Now times running out and don't know where to start
All i want is to be loved and needed
like a radiator my heart needs to be bleeded
To let out the love that's still left inside
So maybe tomorrow, no more will i hide
Too much love inside feels like im going to burst
To be wanted by another is all that i thirst
Happy and content, is that too much to ask ?
Make her's a life of love is my only task
But i keep asking myself, do i have enough time to heal
A lifetime of love is stored inside this heart
Now times running out and don't know where to start
All i want is to be loved and needed
like a radiator my heart needs to be bleeded
To let out the love that's still left inside
So maybe tomorrow, no more will i hide
Too much love inside feels like im going to burst
To be wanted by another is all that i thirst
Happy and content, is that too much to ask ?
Make her's a life of love is my only task

Make like a tree
Ive told myself that this year is for me
thats why im going to make like a tree
make like a tree, upsticks and leave
even knowing im going, i can feel the fresh air i breath
starting again and starting from scratch
knowing that all the plans ive made will hatch
positivity is now the name of the game
an exiting new adventure is now in the frame
no more moping and feeling sorry for myself
my estranged wife has some toys so she can go fuck herself
im moving on this year and im moving on up
so watch out world because today ive grownup
thats why im going to make like a tree
make like a tree, upsticks and leave
even knowing im going, i can feel the fresh air i breath
starting again and starting from scratch
knowing that all the plans ive made will hatch
positivity is now the name of the game
an exiting new adventure is now in the frame

Karma
If Karma is something that does exist, then im well and truely fucked
But if i could go back before i was bad and before i got myself hooked
Before the thefts, the deceite and most of all, all the lies
Then maybe i would stand a chance but how the time flies
One minute your young and innocent and would'nt do any harm
Then before you know it, your someone else and shooting that shit in your arm
So karma can go fuck itself and fuck all the bad things ive done
Fuck you, fuck them, fuck everyone and fuck what i have become
But if i could go back before i was bad and before i got myself hooked
Before the thefts, the deceite and most of all, all the lies
Then maybe i would stand a chance but how the time flies
One minute your young and innocent and would'nt do any harm
Then before you know it, your someone else and shooting that shit in your arm
So karma can go fuck itself and fuck all the bad things ive done
Fuck you, fuck them, fuck everyone and fuck what i have become

Cemetery Gates
These Lyrics are not mine, they were written by Morrisey, just thought i would post them as i personally think that they are amazing
A dreaded sunny day
so I meet you at the cemetery gates
Keats and Yeats are on your side
A dreaded sunny day
so I meet you at the cemetery gates
Keats and Yeats are on your side
while Wilde is on mine
So we go inside and we gravely read the stones
all those people all those lives
where are they now?
with the loves and hates
and passions just like mine
they were born
and then they...
A dreaded sunny day
so I meet you at the cemetery gates
Keats and Yeats are on your side
A dreaded sunny day
so I meet you at the cemetery gates
Keats and Yeats are on your side
while Wilde is on mine
So we go inside and we gravely read the stones
all those people all those lives
where are they now?
with the loves and hates
and passions just like mine
they were born
and then they...

Swansong
To whome it ever may concern
Which is no-one at all, i have learned
These feelings inside make me feel pissed
Knowing if im no longer i will not be missed
Its a sadfull feeling that i have no effect on anyone at all
Scream until my lungs bleed but no-one will hear my call
Suicide notes are always left for someone
But no need for one when you have no-one
It scares me to death how many times each day
I run through my mind of being perminently away
My way of thinking has change, didnt think i had the balls
But when the grim reaper speaks and its my...

Love Hate
love and hate go hand in hand
like a cocoon embracing somethong extraordinary inside
like the warmth of a fire on the coldest of nights
oppositeses maybe, but fit together so well
but having to choose can tear a soul apart
living with one without the other
is like trying to breath air without lungs
and the direction that you intend it to go
is on aknife edge until choices have to be made
the choice to love or the choice to hate
not a single person can help you choose
its all down to you my son, make sure you choose well
cos youve to live with it...
