I thought
I left you behind
the last time you came
to take me

and yet
I hear you
pounding
inside my mind

come place your hand
in mine

I swear
I left you behind
and yet
I hear you pounding
                           pounding
                                    pounding

alright

I­ let you inside
now darkness comes
in the daylight
and you're
just too dark
to fight

I hate
I let you inside
because
I had the key

and yet
you got the best of me

stick it together with sellotape
hide the cracks as best you can
as long as it stays in rotund shape
leave the mess for another man
When the calmness returns, the words spoken in fury cannot be recalled.

orange and black stripes
bulge on the fat belly of
the well fed tiger
I’ve isolated the location
Of where humor goes to die
It was always right in front of me
Right before my eyes
I once asked a total stranger
If he had wings to fly
But he just laughed it off and chuckled
And waved his hand goodbye
