I have unwilled myself to see what I should have
And yet chose to see what I shouldn't,
It is my choice really and it burns down to common ashes
of disillusionments and a make shift place of perpetual tiresome
Endeavours

Mounting to nothing.

I have gazed at stars and other common misinterpretations of love and set myself to dry out what's left of my individuality;
Upon star-gazing and eventual ruination,
My packed backs from eight to three have failed me to decipher
What life can provide me with;

I have misused time and shrunken my perspectives to fit in a square thatch that provides no shelter;

Star gazing has left me, point blank.

Kaboom!
I shoot myself
Kaboom!
Here we go again

In the head Henry,
In the head

On a summer's night,
I killed you.
I panicked, and cried
And picked up the telephone.
"Hello, I killed a man,
He is dead, I could have ran
But I love him and I'm bold,
His scones and tea have turned cold;
In the drawing room carpet he lay,
As if asleep like yesterday,
I took a knife and stabbed him thrice
His favourite food was curry and rice;
He came back home everyday at three
He would rush into my arms and hug me
He kept my picture on display
And smiled at me everyday,
I stabbed him thrice and shot him twice
And held his body and cried all night
I proved to be a killer this time
Instead of being a loving wife;
Arrest me and take my life"

"Ma'am I'm sorry but you husband is gone
It has been 10 years and forlorn,
It was the rain when you came to me
And he was lying beneath the tree,
A car had hit him a night on May
I remember everything clear as day
His love hasn't set you free,
You are delusional,
Can't you see?"

My Japanese house is made of four walls,
North East with Kita
And South West with Tsurugi,

I painted my walls with nail chips that I bought from my land,
It's inhabited with skunk tails and sesame seeds,
I paint my walls for five scores and ten.

I bring unto my love into this foreign land,
splendour with Shobu and Lily,

I lie in peace and quiet as I stare at my Japanese walls.
The paint crumbles and falls upon me.

I really like ducks

They are yellow

Ducks are cool.

I like them a lot.

It's not fair
I have loved you immeasurably
I have loved you too much,
I have loved you every time you took my name,
I have loved you even when you left
I have loved you when everybody else left,
I have loved every part of you.
I have loved you even when my heart could bear no more
I have loved you even when there were no fireworks when you felt low and down
I have loved you when you turned to look at me and your eyes sparkled with life
I have fought against slavery
But I'm bound forever.

Release me never.
Thank you for loving me.

How hurt are you,
Brother how hurt are you.

Are you tired of your fruitless attempt of falling love
And chasing sunsets,
How hurt are you.

Who hurt you brother?
Who hurt you?

Was it a pile of rubble
Or the midnight train,
Who hurt you?

Are you dead brother,
Are you dead?

You have died a thousand times in your heart
And shot a bullet through your head.
