Secrets - Robert, Aloof
Lunch with Mel. Read of the newspapers.
Quarter to three. I set off to collect Robert from school. The other kids have gone. Robert's standing by the whiteboard with his teacher Miss Lyons, who greets me with a warm smile.
'We had a good day, didn't we Robert?' she says.
The boy nods and clutches his bag.
Miss Lyons tosses back her light brown hair and gets ready to leave. She's in her mid-twenties, pretty, with an open face and green eyes. 'I'm very confident about Robert,' she says. 'He's made a very promising start. I'm convinced...

Unconditional love
"Why do you love me?"
He asked with eyes full of tears
"I don't deserve you"
He said as a tear started to run down his face
"I put you through so much shit,
and you still stay. Why?"
I tried to hold back tears
as his words hurt my heart
I gently explained
"There is this beautiful thing
called unconditional love" I said
A smile lit up his face
I still feel like he doesn't understand
Nothing he could could do
could make me lose my love for this man
Losing him would be worse...

Crazy in love
People tell me I'm crazy
because I won't give you up
They wonder why nothing you do is bad enough
Bad enough for me to run
Bad enough for me to be done
I'll admit I'm crazy
Crazy in love
My love for you out weighs
all the bad you've done
They ask why I don't hate you
The truth is I can't
I can't explain the happiness I feel
when you hold my hand
I've tried to give you up
I've tried to say it's the end
But I always end up running back to you again
When I try to give you up
my heart screams in pain ...
because I won't give you up
They wonder why nothing you do is bad enough
Bad enough for me to run
Bad enough for me to be done
I'll admit I'm crazy
Crazy in love
My love for you out weighs
all the bad you've done
They ask why I don't hate you
The truth is I can't
I can't explain the happiness I feel
when you hold my hand
I've tried to give you up
I've tried to say it's the end
But I always end up running back to you again
When I try to give you up
my heart screams in pain ...

decision fatigue
Decision fatigue:
it feels like a permanent brain freeze after trying
to inhale too much icecream. Decision making literally hurts, particularly anything open ended.
Small decisions are exhausting but doable.
Hard decisions are panic attack inducing.
The small every day things that everyone else
does feel like looking up at Mt Everest.
Add in depression and anxiety and you've got a
recipe for chaos.
I swore at you in the hardware store
after you tried to bully me into making
a decision I didn't need to...

The Narcissist
Close to midnight
And we've drunk too much again
I just wanna leave you
I just wanna leave you
I just want to leave you
Needing me, alone
Finger in the ashes
It smudges out like earthy silk
I just wanna go
I just wanna go
I just want to go
Back
Home
Wild and torn
Jailed and wasted
I just wanna take
I just wanna take
I just want to take it all
And fly you away
Maybe I will
Maybe I will
The criminal
And the martyr, still
Bruised and...

The Ballad of Madam Chopitoff
A woman fed up, fueled by strife,
Chopped off her husband’s pride with a knife.
As he lay sleeping, she took her leave,
Tossed his “johnson” out, in wild reprieve.
Bleeding profusely, he called for aid,
A friend drove him to Hospital's shade.
Meanwhile, cops took up the hunt,
Questioned Madam Chop-It-Off, blunt.
They found it tossed by 7-Eleven,
Wrapped it on ice, quite the leaven
In a hot-dog bag, and rushed it quick,
A surgeon’s test, to knot the prick.
Nine hours in surgery's heavy hand, ...
Chopped off her husband’s pride with a knife.
As he lay sleeping, she took her leave,
Tossed his “johnson” out, in wild reprieve.
Bleeding profusely, he called for aid,
A friend drove him to Hospital's shade.

Bookmark my lust.
Oh that I were a book
touched by your hands each night
held tenderly into the hushed hours
pages turned with anticipation
devoured with passion
one more page
one last sigh
a carnal bookmark
holds the spot
your eyes close
I vanish
you're drifting now
sinking
ever sinking
into the mattress
to the emptiness of sleep.

Go ahead ....have a laugh.
Sapiosexual and concupiscence.
Bloody dictionary should combine them both into one word.
I suggest 'backdeckbenny' as the definition fits perfectly.

Blah
We had our fun
We had good times
Something, I suppose
To call a good life
Together we climbed mountains
And strolled along the shore
Living and loving fully
Until it was no more
We had good times
Something, I suppose
To call a good life
Together we climbed mountains
And strolled along the shore
Living and loving fully
Until it was no more

not made for this
The more you've got it made
the less I feel I belong here
and I don't know how to tell you
I don't want the white picket fence dream
because I don't know how to explain
how lonely walking the line
makes me feel
I wasn't born to fit in
and I think I've always known that
but I still squish my soul
into ill fitting places
because some days
the need to belong
outways the instability
of true freedom
And the choices that have lead me
to this half life of ghosted dreams
and discontent ...
the less I feel I belong here
