I overheard you phone
conversation
turned quickly so
not to hear
things I shouldn’t
but I still heard
all the bad about
me

you drip feed me
the truth
because you love me
I drip feed you
my love
because
it’s the right thing to do.

When did the
snow
turn into pain?

nothing
before
has ever
been
quite
as
clean
as this team

when there was
no more you
wasn’t quite sure
what to do
so just made a big deal
out of missing you

let love go
and I will too
let go of me
and
I promise
I can also
let go of you.

She is gone
again
just as quickly has she
arrived
like a wisp of smoke
again
like a sunrise missed
again
like a moment lost
again
like an opportunity
known again
like love
found again

Imagine
what we could have been
if we had only
tried

I am swimming in a  sea of you
I am drowning in too much of you
I am climbing the Everest of you
I am delving into the deep of you
I am inhaling the worst of you
I am crying for the loss
and the best of you

your smile came back to
me today
unexpectedly
in the shower
still can’t believe
you are a liar .

If I live to be two  hundred and ten
actually if I live until
next Tuesday
I will never love again
as I have loved you.

Hold your breath
We’re going down fast
and deep
hold your breath
and me
we are sinking so fast
it’s not possible
we could
ever last

I am leaving now
my love
and I will leave my heart with you
safekeeping
for better days
no longer can I stay.

We still have
a small chance
a window, if you will
to be
the kind of family
we always wanted
to be
that we should be
but the clock
is ticking
and ticking
and ticking
so loudly
it is beginning  to silence
the decent and real
tiny parts of me

of all the smiles
ever given to me
and there’s been a few
the best smile
was the one you gave to me
in ‘94
as you ran to me
arms outstretched
love unattached
straight into my arms
with your love for me
written all over
the man I knew
you would eventually be.

How come
you whisper
and I hear
a roar ?

I think our love
a little bit saggy now
no dancing beneath the stars
no hanging in late night bars
more sunrise
than sunset
but still
I’m hanging with
you!

I still believe
somewhere
very deep on the inside
of you
lives the someone
I once knew

You do know
don’t you?
that all of this
means nothing
if we don’t both love it
if we are both not
in all honesty
true
you do know that
don’t you?

I have missed
the very best parts
of you

You are everyone
and everything
I ever wanted to be
it would always be a reach
for someone like me
but just living with you
elevates me

You do know
the best I can give you
is a bad reputation

There are seven wonders of the world
I sat here tonight
and had dinner
with three of them.

God
if they only knew
they would be queueing up
just
to have a conversation
with you

my heart has not yet missed a beat
if it ever were to
it would only be
because you three
were out of arms reach
to me

Eventually
the lies disappear
like smoke upon touch
the truth appears
without warning
that it could ever mean so much
eventually
morning dawns
from a night filled with tears
eventually
without the fanfare
life starts again
to everyone’s surprise
we awake
again
a little embarrassed
again
to a glorious
and  unexpected
sunrise.

Thank you for
the ‘likes’
the ‘loves’
the ‘reposts’
Would you like to know me
instead
or would that be a little too real
inside your head?

I don’t care
about the money
I just really really
honestly
believe me now
I just really really
care
about the dance.

Pour me another life
I will drink
to that
all night
and deep into
tomorrow
I suspect
you probably will too
Cheers!

You talk about love
like you feel
You talk about tomorrow
like you know
You talk about us
like its real.

I  am not sure
and I have travelled
a lot
met every version
of us
and me
and you
and more
and still
I am not sure

I cannot breath
because the pain
you cause
kills
my will
and my spirit
my grit
I cannot breath
because your boot
is bigger
and louder
and way more important
than my
life

I am a tourist
in your life but
I lost my map
and my appetite
at the last beauty spot

let me hear you laugh
let me hear you cry
let me watch you die
into another evening
without try
let me cry
without voice
with no invoice
in the post
let me try.

I may not be in love
but let me tell you
how that feels

Good

This should be beautiful
and real
instead
it’s difficult
and steel

this
what we have done
together
these little humans
we have
nurtured
together
and tossed out
into the world
together
this
what we have done
together
is way more than
we could have ever
done
apart
just stand back
give it a beat
look at them
listen to them
they are amazing
and our whole
life’s work.

I live
with the person
I aspire to
be

this
is a beautiful life
and my bit in it
is divine
and way more than
I deserve
in any currency
so why can I not see me
and life
from the
outside
and those who are looking in?

if you will let
the words you
say
stand still
and strong
then
so will I
I will dance with
my words
deep into tonight
and way into
our unknown
tomorrow

I miss you
god, here  it is.
now, at last
it’s been said
out loud
no words
no rhymes
can describe
how much I miss you
or
who I am
without you
or
the fact
that
I miss you
here it is
out loud
at last
I miss you
now it’s said.

This is probably
The best that I can be
yes, this is probably
it for me
I would like to offer more
and more
and more
even up the score
but in all honestly
this is probably
The best that that I can be

Leave all of your love
strewn carelessly
across the floor
anything else
I would abhor

My love
was always worth
more
and a little more respect
than the
end
of us

save me
and I
will save
you too
my arms
are strong
but forgive me
your arms
at least to me
right here
right now
seem
a little  bit
not strong.

Sometimes I do wonder
Who you are
Where
You are
Imagine if we could just
meet
for a beat
I think our flesh
would refresh
Our
minds
And leave our
many doubts
Behind

to be near you
sometimes
scares me

your words
fall lightly
upon my ears
and I suspect
they always will
I see
the good
in everyone.
