And you can hate me now and you should
I know I sure did when I was in your shoes—
Got my revenge pure and simple and the taste went to bitter from sweet
Yeah, matches just how you look and how I made you out in my head.

But year by year my brain melts more and more snd winter clouds clear though the icey pavements are still par for course—
The spark inside divides me from the world I’m still yet to deal with.
I’ve fought too much and lost too much and wore my self out til even my bones thinned.

Love you so, remember and recognise you always. Little flame, so full of spite and promise and age and distance.

I know my love is gone forever and evermore
I’ll love her still
And I know she hates and wants to **** me now,
Maybe she’s right.

Spent a year daydreaming I was in America,
Lesson-learned: don’t mess around with anyone half as crazy as you are.

I got off at St. George’s Cross, home sweet home, I’m strung out again;
had a song and smell of a room from when I was sixteen stuck in my head.
I was still preparing my greetings when I realised I wouldn’t see you
Not today and maybe not ever

And that doesn’t bother me
For today I’m no’ scared of nothing
And everything is lost in time

But I will not lie, life was better
with you as my friend. Shoulder
For my head and ear for my *******.

O ladybird, lend me ur heart.
Sigh heavily and blow the cobwebs from my brain;
Unwind us both until we undo ourselves to the very start.
Dry me from your torrid rain.

Ladybird, O ladybird,
I’ll bleed over your feet
And stickily paint my lips
In the name of your grace

So loving it descries and so nonchalantly unforgiving and relentless

My ladybird, O ladybird

Crawling nails thru my hair like scratched steel, spotty from the outset, femme-fated accent

Ladybird in her own image;

  Arm outstretched, palm bent up facing,
O ladybird, my ladybird…

Oh Jesus Christ

There goes my baby
With someone new
My heart is bleeding
Under their shoes

Like a cat asleep and unseen
By the window
I’m nothing like I should be
I laze in sorrow

At least for now we share the same moonbeams
But we won’t wake to the same tomorrow.
I love you madly
But you’re no comfort
I’d hate you gladly
If I left you alone before

Do nothing learn nothing
Little by little the tears come
For you I’d do anything
and you’d still do me wrong.

Goodbye goodbye

Didn’t mean a thing

Forever’s just a word

your words meant nothing at all.

I’m so glad that we met and I’m so glad it’s over
I miss you so much and I’m so glad it’s over

In the end you hate me O well it’s over.
End of another piece.

“Over my shoulder
           goes another one…
Over my shoulder
            i guess they’ll never learn…”

Heaven and hell twirl entwined like see-moss
Embalmed into an eternal possession,
Hearts mark themselves deeply then bare to rot;
You can undo love but never obsession.
Neither romantic nor ******
