Conversation with myself
Please stop screwing up your life.
It's my life too.

Love Unexpected
I wish I’d considered
Back then
That I could be loved
That much
How could I know
The extent of your love?
I thought it
Impossible

It gets so bad it makes sense
when you
slowly draw
the curtains
and petrol
begins to spill
from your
legs,
waiting for
my mouth
to ignite
that all
consuming
howl.

Peeling The Layers Back
Innocence remains hidden behind a mask
Viewing life through some distorted mirror
Taught not to take everything at face value
Peeling layers back till it’s all made clearer

frost watch
instinct keeps me poised
eyes darting
hovering near the shadows
always an exit within reach
winds can turn bitter
...with little warning
chilling to the bones
& I am...
deeply susceptible
...to cold

Mistakes
You remind me of all of my defeats
And the whys begin
And the what if not-s
Anything good in me dissolves
I end up a but a bunch of mistakes
And round abouts

Room full of mysteries
You attracted me
Like a room full of mysteries
I kind of wanted to enter there
To see.
