I keep aiming for perfection
I used to be smiling
Now it’s become an obsession

Fear
Andrew Jan 2023
From the first breath
I ever took

I watched my mother
give the
saddest look

It was that day
I found my fear
It went
through me
with every tear

As I grew
I came
to learn
I saw this world
for its wicked turn

Amongst a crowd
I tried to fit in
behaving shy
they screamed
and shout

Preferred the dark
hidden from light
I got taught
to live in doubt

From every hour
I had to fight
there was a heart
I held so dearly tight
My childhood and adult life

Unforgettable
Andrew Jan 2023
I built myself a prison
from my own
flesh and bone
using every tiny piece
a place I call home

with no window
and one pillow
that’s my collection
stands a tall mirror
which holds no reflection

is this a bad dream
or a passing phase
I’m still trapped
in the most darkest daze

A long night
Andrew Dec 2021
Im a little low
Im feeling  blue
Im lost for words
When I think of you

Through the forest
And over the hills
When I think of you
It give me chills

I’d move a mountain
I’d run a mile
When I think of you
I remember that smile

When I think of you
I lay in bed
I can not sleep
After what you said

A peaceful night
Andrew Jan 2023
you are a star
that’s about to die out,
a flame
which has lost its heat,
my child’s toy
that can’t be found;
yes,
you are all of these
but please,
let me sleep
so I can see you
still wondering
deep in my dreams

I’m an addict
Andrew Dec 2021
Before I die
I wanna try
Just one day
Without a lie
To feel free
In every way
Help me be
Run a mile
Go and play
With a smile
Make me cry
For a while
Not get high

Empty
Andrew Jan 2023
It’s been a while
since we’ve seen
her smile

In the skin
she is wrapped in
her happiness
lays thin

with a man
or on her own
she stands there
all alone

On my own

Dark times
Andrew Dec 2021
Every night  
before I sleep
I close my eyes
and begin to weep

I lay there watching
the curtains sway
In a room
I painted black and grey

Will the morning
ever come
why do I hope
to see the sun
when tomorrow
I’ll be going mad
hopelessly
feeling numb

Guilt and regret
Andrew Jan 2023
How many words
and verses
can someone use,
about the one
they thought
they would never lose

If they only knew
how much I’ve written,
would it change
the way they would listen

I write
from my heart,
from the angel
who touched us
to the devil
who tore us apart

We shared the innocence
that you once had,
for me to come along
to scoop it all up
and make it so bad

If not today
then one day
I’ll make the amends,
so hopefully after that
we can become good friends

My last words
Andrew Oct 2021
One day
we might
meet again,
you may
not remember me
but I’ll never
forget you.
Until then
when I
need you
I’ll keep you
hidden away
so no one
can touch you
In the back
of my mind
somewhere
where I know
you’ll be
safe and sound

Happiness

on the outside
but feels ugly

Sorry
Andrew Jan 2023
I often wonder
do you think of me
like I think of you,
dare I say it,
do you ever miss me
like I miss you,
and if you do,
if it’s true
either way
I’m so deeply sorry
for what I’ve done to you

When my life changed
Andrew Dec 2022
The day I lost you
Those words you spoke
Turned the room grey
But in time
I’m sorry to say
I found my new self
In the most profound way

A girl I know
Andrew Feb 2023
I look
for you
through
the morning dew

in the place
where
we once knew

concrete
streets
beat me
down

the cold
heavy rain
covers
the ground

I lost my mind
to the most
loving
soul

to
a girl
that
wants it all

who
in the end
will take a fall

Lost
Andrew Jul 2023

was absent

found life

when lost

How we started& finished
Andrew Dec 2022
I found you
As a friend
Took you
By the hand
We both
Got ******
Lost you
In the wind
Because
My poor
little head
Went round
The ******* bend
How I met, my broken heart! It’s all true like everything I write and I thought it was quite funny.  Sorry for the swearing.

I walk alone
Andrew Feb 2023
I scrape my feet
along this broken road
dumping old memories
to lighten the load

I trip and stumble
between each crack
staying awake
so I don’t turn back

into the sunset
I must carry on
where she’ll be waiting
but I’ll be gone

The night I changed
Andrew Jan 2023
Day after day
Night after night
I knew then
You were out of sight

I looked for you
Everywhere I went
The last words you spoke
Are ones that you meant

Since you left me
I felt so alone
Like a sad song
Playing
The deepest tone

You were someone
I once called home
Yet somehow you left
And I was all alone

Who am I
To impress
Certainly not
That young girl
In the beautiful
Dress

My past never dies
Some days it leaves
Every night it shows
When the morning comes
Where will you be
No one knows

I’m sorry
that day I stopped by
I’m sorry
You caught my eye
I’m sorry
I didn’t let you fly
I’m sorry
I came back to try
even when your bother
asked me why
And I’m sorry
I didn’t leave you alone
just to say goodbye

The gypsy girl
Andrew Dec 2021
The young gypsy girl
Who fell off a cloud
That found peace
When her feet
Touched the ground

She held the sunlight
Which would burn
Golden bright
While watching over you
As you sleep
Throughout the night

Her long red hair
With her stylish dress wear
Flows down the street
Floats on thin air

Our last day
Andrew Feb 2023
You are the girl
that I once knew
who stole my heart
just to tear it in two

from the downward path
we both once took
stood my darkest hour
that unforgettable look

you are the one
who won’t be forgotten
the young slender woman
who filled all of heaven

I miss your love
your loving kiss
but I won’t forget
that awful day
when you simply,
walked away

Teenage memories
Andrew Jan 2022
Wherever I go
It will feel unfair
Whenever I stare
You’ll always be there

I like the clothes
That you wear
The way you care

I love the way
you do your hair
The looks we share

After seven years
You said goodbye
The words we used
Told the coldest lie

When we were young
Our world was fun
Now it’s all gone
Im back with mum

Making amends
Andrew Jan 2023
I’ve had enough
I want this to end
no more poems
about us being friends

I need to leave now
I got to move on
I do have a plan
its time to stay strong

I must remember
I’m not here to impress
I’m here for my sorrows
to put everything to rest

I’m scared to see you
what if it goes wrong
my amends takes a turn
I know you’ll be gone
One day, It may come true.
And I can possibly stop all this writing

A real friend

Live or die
Andrew Jan 2023
I don’t want to die
but there are days
I don’t want to live
be brave they say
It’s just a belief
which I find
In some way
a complete lie
but it gives me hope
some type of relief
521 · Feb 2023
I saw you
Andrew Feb 2023
After so many years

there you were

I found you

the girl I once knew

who suddenly stole this crowed room

I would have come over

but I couldn’t,

you were smiling

gazing at your new lover

all the things that I’ve done

everything what I’m going through

I did

and still do,

because of you
I finally saw the girl who broke my heart,
At a local restaurant.
Miles away from our home town.

A vision
Andrew Feb 2023
I tried and I cried
same time every night

I used everything
to numb my head

from the smoke
to the drink
I closed my eyes
to help me think

you were here
but you left me

so who is this
who’s laying
in our bed

For you
Andrew Nov 2021
If I was to write
A verse or two
Just for you
It would have to start

Your heart is
As pure
As the Mountain Dew
Filled with so much joy
Devotion would be
the best word served
For our home and family
And of course
our little boy

With everything
We have been through
Pink and blue
You’ve always stayed
Strong and true

If I was to give to you
What you have given us
It would be a lifetime’s worth
Of angels dust
My Xmas present for my partner

My mum
Andrew Jan 2022
Mum,
you have been there
literally -
from day one
still handing out love
from all I have done

A mum
who is my mother
my protector
my carer
a strong shoulder
that never grew colder

Yes,
It may be once or twice
I set the pace,
like wild mice
In a race,
yet somehow
you always managed
to keep our home
nice and safe

Now,
I have a family,
a place of my own
and if I can be
half the parent,
you were to me
than my boy will grow
to be quite a man-
won’t you agree?
For my mum

It’s now
that I shout
