I sit in the same place
as I always do.
My toys around me
surrounding me with warmth.
Toys you bought for me
when I was your baby

Forever More
Nevermore

You would rock me in your arms
until I slept
safely in your glass world
but it broke
it always breaks
and the pieces lie around me
on the floor

We used to sit and laugh
together forever
bound by blood
blood now spilled
on this floor
where I will stay

Forever more

Tonight
There was only darkness
around us
There were no stars
in the sky
There were clouds
engulfing the countryside
There were thoughts
you'd said good bye
                There was no moon
                            to lead us home
                There was no light
                            shining through the black
                 There was no hope
                            to guide us there
And now we're never
coming back.

It may be established,
as dull as the Amish
even nightmarish
but I want to publish.

It never seems boarish
The reading is moreish
in fact it, I would relish
the contracts most hellish.

I have just one wish,
and that is to publish
music to nourish
talent to astonish
and help it to flourish
and try to abolish
the commercialised anguish

2011 wasn't the year I lost you,
2012, it is here.
They said you wouldn't make it as far as you did,
Is it really a happy new year?

You made through Christmas and Birthdays,
You tried to make it alright.
You strive for holiday perfection,
We know that each day was a fight.

And now I have come to terms with,
the fact that you;re leaving this year.
I don't want to turn round and face it,
and fake all this holiday cheer.

I hope that your year will be better,
than mine promises to be,
Read this and know that I wish you,
a far better new year than me.

I am happy if you are happy,
I said to leave my sorrow.
If you find love then I know that
your love I can always borrow.

I'm so angry when you're hurt,
I cry and shout aloud.
When you achieve or praise you receive,
I am forever proud.

But never do you sympathise,
or return my empathy.
You only care when He is there
and He, is never me.

I ask you not to take me,
for granted as you do.
For when you cry, I always try,
to say I still love you.

But I know and always know,
that He's your number one.
I'll forever be your number three,
to pass the time.
I'm done.

If you choose to leave us,
if you choose to move on.
I will never forgive you,
from the day you are gone.

If you leave your children,
if you choose to leave your spouse,
if you choose to leave your family,
so alone in this big house.

When they diagnosed you,
you promised you would fight.
You would refuse to give in,
you would do what's right.

You can call me selfish,
for insisting that you live,
without you we would lose it,
That I can't forgive.

Today,
Is the last day I saw you.
We walked home together,
for the last time.

I felt close
to you again.
We said goodbye,
for the last time.

5 years ago today,
I saw your smile,
I heard your voice,
for the last time.

It scares me,
when I can't hear your voice,
or remember your face,
or close my eyes and hear you laugh.
You are gone, fading from my memory.

5 years ago,
I watched you walk away,
never to return again,
for the last, the very last time.
