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
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

My poetry
flows a certain way

I sculpture words
from the finest clay

The verses you hear
are thoughts we play

These lines I write
leads my pen astray

The tone I use
shows the darkest day

Behind each meaning
gives beauty they say
Andrew Jan 2023
I’m done with this writing
I keep aiming for perfection
I used to be smiling
Now it’s become an obsession
Andrew Aug 2021
Back then
I never realised
How young I really was
And today,
I still don’t
Andrew Apr 2020
Pour another glass
Another whiskey chaser
For the drinker
Mr bartender
On this late week day afternoon
One more no more
He shouts!
Banging his head against the bar
In a dying thirsty rage
Can somebody
Anybody
Phone his poor wife
Just to hear her breakdown again
Andrew Dec 2022
To see your face
To feel your skin
To hear your voice
With a tear
I listen out
In this empty place
Andrew Feb 2023
You never know
how lonely
you really are
until
your on your own
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
Andrew May 2020
Fight or flight-
That’s what they say, right?
Say what you like
While the skin is pale
Throughout the day and night
Like a fresh clean sheet -
Crispy and white
Yes, you have guessed-
Anxiety and stress,
Adhd and my Aspergers
Smothers me tightly
Never gently or lightly
I hear the wind
In the leaves
As darkness
Covers my eyes
The most caressing breeze
Takes me down to the floor
Straight to my knees
Andrew Nov 2020
Parents are the most peculiar things,
You think you’re really close
Yet really you are so far apart
Andrew May 2020
She loves me
she loves me not,
She breaks my heart
she knows the spot
Andrew Jan 2022
All the mistakes
I’ve made
I preformed
perfectly
Andrew Jan 2022
To stop it all
from happening,
just
stop
thinking!
Andrew May 2020
Why do I feel a failure
When I prefer to be a sailor,
A loner, a lost ghost,
A captain of a ship
I pray I live in hope
My last words won’t ever slip
I dream yet still learn
Your tender touch I mustn’t yearn
I laugh outside,
But cry hard inside
Like a loud ringing bell
You will never know I live in hell
Every tear drop I weep
I’m able to wash down
Every sidewalk, alley,
Even the dingiest street
Now, I mustn’t go astray
If I was to say
I saw my mum asleep
Also thought it would be
The last time we’d ever meet
Andrew Apr 2020
I can do sarcasm
I just can’t deal with it.
Andrew Jan 2022
In the end
your
words
didn’t matter
however
your last look
hurt
the most
Andrew Apr 2020
It’s a lock down a shut down
An epidemic pandemic
It’s more serious than Ebola
They call it Corona
Once it was isis
now it’s a virus
causing a crisis.
God bless the medics
Doctors and nurses
Let’s get back to Business
Is it a conspiracy,
A fever, or simple allergy
We don’t want your gold
We need more...flour.
She
Andrew Apr 2020
She
The way she drinks, it irritates
The way she eats, It irritates
The way she yawns, It irritates
Even when
she’s on the phone, it irritates
Like a coiled spring
when sprung it f** vibrates
Andrew Apr 2020
It’s a crazy world but
Somebody has to live in it.
Andrew Feb 2023
You are the girl
That I once knew
Who wore shiny clothes
With brand new shoes

You are the girl
That had piercing eyes
Which told a story
Spoke a thousand lies

You are the girl
An angel from heaven
What came to earth
But never learnt her lesson
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
Andrew Jan 2022
Your sorry for me,
I’m sorry for you
for having someone like me
Andrew Apr 2022
Sometimes
I feel rather lost
Some days
I feel a little blue
Only now and then
I feel quite down
All because my mind
Runs back to you
Andrew Jan 2023
don’t be afraid
when you see me this way
I don’t want to stay
just be with me
on my very last day
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
Andrew Dec 2022
Today I’m in heaven
Yesterday I was with you
Tomorrow I’ll go to hell
After knowing what you do
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
Andrew Apr 2020
You haven’t done it wrong
You’ve just lost your way.
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
Andrew Nov 2021
There was a girl  
I once knew

She had these eyes
That would play
The perfect tune

Where in time
Showed me
This world
From a different view

Who I came to love
So dearly,
It ran deeply
Through
And through
Andrew Nov 2021
Where do I go
how do I start
what do I do
with this broken heart

I feel so alone
like an empty city
a broken bone
full of gilt and pity

I often wonder
if you felt the same
I’m still here
me and my shame

There is no fire
without any flame
clouds turn to thunder
its only me who’s to blame
Andrew Apr 2020
I do not want to live  
  Unfortunately    
  I have lost the will to die
Try
Andrew Apr 2020
Try
If all I need to do is try
I will never fail
Andrew Dec 2022
Moments
Make up a day
But it only takes
One moment
To turn your life
In a completely
Different way

What’s next
I can’t take anymore
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
Andrew Apr 2020
It’s easier to stay lost in a memory
Rather than to face reality
Andrew Dec 2022
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
Andrew Feb 2021
God
Please give me the words
To numb this pain
Andrew Mar 2021
It’s easier when one says
Than when one feels

Throughout my life
We often joked,
I have the tree
he has the rope,
He would laugh
I would laugh too,
Acting all cool
But only laughing
Half the way through.
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
Andrew Jan 2021
There hasn’t been a single day
Where I haven’t been thinking
Of you in some way
Andrew Dec 2020
You were once
so young
Yet I never saw
what was coming
Andrew Nov 2022
God will only give you
What you can handle
Andrew Apr 2020
My dear,
Those tears are filled
With hundreds of stories
And thousands of fears
Skin has grown wafer thin
From one broken heart
Over many years
A life long scar
Which never disappears
