The words that fall from my mouth
should only be for me
yet they rain upon your head
like an untuned symphony
and somehow
you turn my words
into a tune

Would you be kind enough
to direct me,
to the nearest exit
I am leaving .

Your love
makes a fool
out of my love
your love
walks ten miles more
than my love
your love speaks sonnets
my love mumbles
your love screams
my love whispers
your love
fills the room
my love
locked in a tomb

Here’s the truth
I’ve switched the truth
to make you look bad
it’s a small twitch
but enough
to help me sleep well
and happy.
Night all!

Let your love
carelessly
flow over me
let your words
make no difference to me
let your smile
make a fool out of me
let someone else
anyone but you
let someone else
anyone but you
let someone else
dear God
let someone else
take me home
tonight

Your eyes suggest
a place we shouldn’t go
your winning streak
ended
at my feet.

I used to be
your favourite drunk
What happened?
