Hey guys / I'm terminally scouse and suck at singing so I write poetry / I'm forever annoyed at my life and my page will likely be depressing but I promise I'm working on that / Expect themes of sex, addiction, sex addiction, existentialism and determination
My life shattered but won't give out My wife coughs out; words leave her mouth And it's a no, i was so ready to go Didn't we say so? All those times we played? Didn't we always find a way? Oh And look how she spares her pride, tears in her eyes; she's dead inside And from my chest - no reply; but sparks on wires my heart replies Nerves that can't form Words to reply Let me expire; send word to mum and sis; become a miss I hate when you see me like this Every wait weights upon our bliss It's all sorts of horrific; let me be specific Wouldn't it be terrific To just let me go; remember we were just so Soul to soul and oh so whole Not all of these charts and missives I liked you in control but i hate me this submissive Now i've hit the wall; time comes for us all It's unacceptable to contemplate my fall Now be swift and hit the switch; It's on the wall If it would please you i always believed in you; you know it's true Please don't look appalled Me and you were always one Now it's all for one And one for all .......

One for all
My hearse tracks y axis elation Tram tries to numb; it's work undone nerves crackle with ideas above my station While they're overrating; love and hating All my love is devastation I leave ideals in desolation

Honestly was just messing around drunk
When you make the choice to embrace the iron And deny voice to impatient desire When your heart seeks a dark relief And you dig deep to find belief When you bare your teeth To earn relief And the lactase weeps Body burns with heat to pay the fee You pay with hurt to settle misery And walk the streets secretly With an invisible wreath Body sings a symphony To the pain you own Hymns of control A punishment that you will own Admonishing through flesh and bone Turning will to steel, form to stone Teaching brain to heel as hearts atone Till everything you feel is yours alone And your own life feels like something you own Iron inspired, regret retired, live in the moment Heart may be heavy but you know you can hold it

Embracing the Iron
Find paper and a pen to start, A timeframe lost unto my heart, A flash of me before the blur; Or a moment 'I' came up for air? Time and drugs have past since then; I've habituated lust and lost some friends Truth is I've felt higher since But this journal appeals to some sense - - That truth is recieved and noted, studied and quoted, to enlighten a mind until it's floated These first few pages scribbled in haste Jigsaw pieces; acknowledged, embraced? Before the pills and powders, ***** and waste Until time grinds these pages down to paste - - Was there ever value in self-righteous grace? But what to do but scribble sorrow As power plants burn up tomorrow This book goes back in time; Paper pulp to trees and leaves As I crawl forward; *** drugs, relief? I'll star no role yet achieve my goal For doomed to die is every soul 'They listen not' - my wont to sigh As the earth turns to the sound Of a million doomed birthing cries
