You were great when I was not
I didn’t mean to, but I put you through a lot

It wasn’t me, who was lashing out
I couldn’t ever bring myself to shout

What was going on, in my head?
I cut you off and killed us dead
Written throughout September, 2018
I’m aesthetic but pathetic
A rhetoric that’s plagued me
It’s why I hide my identity
My words are the focus,
Not the face behind the mask
Ironically, it allows me to be my true self,
Not placed on a shelf like an old relic
I’ve fought against ‘me’ for as long as I can remember

January to December

A never ending ember
Like how we used to be,
Burn so bright, a beautiful synergy,
A perfect match, so the flame was gorgeous
But it must die sometimes
So I lost you and my head
Because you gave him yours
How many more do you invite to your bed?
I lost count
A forced amnesia of our time together
A time that I was sure would last for forever

i.e
And I’ve been seeing things in my nightmares
I try to wake up
But it’s my life
I try to make up
To my wife
But guess what?
No-one cares
And no-one dares
To intervene or help a solo soul, ‘cause they see he’s so low and cold

Honestly, would you do the same?
Ignore a stranger in pain?
Probably not if it was like in the movies
‘Cause the person in pain is physically appealing
Someone you could be with, a fixer upper,
Instead I just fix me some uppers to cope with the natural downers
ie life
ie wife
Apology
ie knife

We're a generation who would rather

Get their phone out and film a disaster

Only then to realise that after

They made the wrong move, just to prove

That they were there, but did not care

When the world

Lost

It's humanity
