Better

I knew myself better
when I wore
another man’s
clothes

If only

Sleep easy, he said
if only
but never again with you
I thought.

Morsel

When I left you
I didn’t realise
there was a tiny morsel of you
sewn into my heart
forever

Buried

my heart
is buried deep
in yesterday

Remember

and then
everything stopped
I don’t remember the day
or the hour
or the month
or the year
but I remember
the silence
it was weird
tell me you remember
that too.

Bullseye

Well done!
You won
You got me
Bullseye!
arrow
straight through
my heart.

Home

I see you
and you look like home
I turn away
but home is always where
the heart is.
