We are silent as can be,
In the dark
Moving quickly
The night is long
But this is empty.
In the morning,
When you hold me
Our heads are pounding
Our hearts are hammering.
When you're gone,
And my bed is empty
I am restless
I am wanting.
Are you busy? Or are you done with me?
Ghosts haunt my past, nothing new.
Same old story.

I want you to know that I could have adored you.
My love knows no bounds,
It stretches, envelops and encompasses
Every word I am unable to say,
Every kiss I give anyway.
Do you tire of my stories?
Of my attempts to let you in?
Am I not right for you?
Do I not fit within?
I want you to know that I have love to give.
But if that's not for you,
My boundless love will move on,
Just don't text me at 4am.

I was once a desired thing,
Long hair, wide eyes and tiny shoulders.
I was once a wilder thing,
No staying in, even when the air was colder.
See me now,
Smothered in on and under you.
See me now,
Burying regret, resentment and the truth.
Remember me when,
I had oysters, pearls and diamonds galore.
Remember me when,
The whole ocean knocked on my door.
Keep an eye on me now,
A bittersweet ***** with only one way to go.
Keep an eye on me now,
Back to the Woman I know.

In the night we are tigers;
Pacing, pouncing, preying,
Bodies slinking over each other.
In the day we are foxes;
Sly, secretive, ****** me,
Playing games like young pups.
As always, I am a mouse;
Tiny, timid, terrified,
Communicating in shrieks.

Your eyes gave me everything.
They gave me love, they gave me hope, they gave me fear.
Your eyes gave me everything.
But they couldn't keep us near.
Your eyes are as blue,
As the sea that parts and surrounds our worlds.
They're as blue,
As the sky that stretches over us both.
Your eyes are so bright,
They were my light in the night.
So bright,
I can barely look at you.
That night your eyes were so wet,
I forgot all the good they had been.
My eyes were so wet,
I forgot to look, forgot I had it all to see.
It's only been blue eyes -
Since I was with you
But it's never been love,
Not since I left you.

In the lack of day
We almost-lay, in a fuzzy haze.
In the lack of day
We swear and we sway
Not giving anything away.
In the dark of day
My bruises heal and my ego deflates.
In the dark of day
We dodge and I relay
All the things it's too late to say.

One day, my darling,
One day we will be the King and Queen
of the universe.
We will show them mercy
and be kind to those who forsook us.
One day, my darling,
One day, money will cease
to control us.
We will indulge, splurge and spoil
the labours of our love.
One day, my darling,
One day, the rats will run
ahead of us.
We will sit, and wonder
about how we ever kept up.
One day, my darling,
One day, the world will keep spinning
without us.
We will greet our next adventure
hands held, hearts locked.
One day, my darling.
One day, our bones will be the dust
fertilising the future.
We will be as forgotten
as the druids and the bards.

I'm flying; I'm beautiful.
I'm soaring; but I am not free.
Nor do I wish to be.
I'm falling; I'm miserable.
I'm slipping down, down, down.
I am not free.
Nor do I wish to be.
It's time you told me, and stopped this agony.
It's time you put your arms around me, and soothed my soul.
Please don't set me free.

They call it a rough patch,
but I don't know how to deal.
I knew there had to be some catch,
a sandwich crust, an orange peel.
Your life is moving forward,
I'm hanging back in the trees.
I had hoped you wouldn't get bored,
Of Skype calls and endless amounts of cheese.
I still act like there's nothing wrong,
No one has to know.
I'm still listening to our favourite song,
Trying to deal with this blow.
I had dreamed of nights wrapped up in you.
I had dreamed of white dresses and little feet.
Maybe you had different plans, maybe I scared you.
But I'm not ready to admit defeat.

We sleep side by side,
like it's our God given right.
We are nature.
We are sunlight.
A child approaches me in my dreams,
she walks through the warzone,
her red hair blowing in the wind,
she looks at me with your eyes.
I've never wanted a traditional life,
but I can think of nothing better,
than sitting on a porch with you
hands and fingers intertwined.
Watching the sun go down
Happy with life.
