theres nothing quite like romance to prove your love is true

give a bunch of flowers a glass of wine or two

have a lovely meal with candles all a glow

just a little romance is all you have to show.



have a little cuddle and a loving kiss

for a perfect evening filled with loving bliss

just a little romance is all you have to do

followed by the words darling i love you.
there was a little rat he came from germany
a proper fighter pilot  one day he would be
like the  famous pilot from the years gone bye
the one they called red baron the ruler of the sky.

in a plane of red flying through the cloud
a fighter pilots dream this would make him proud
firing his guns as he went flying by
watching as his enemy fell down from the sky.

heading back to base landing on the ground
then fall fast asleep tucked up safe and sound
i had a little kitten he wasnt very well
he had caught a cold and his food he couldnt smell
his little eyes were running and he began to sneeze
i kept him nice and warm so the cold would ease.

he had lost his purr he was really bad
lying in his bed looking rather sad
the next day he was better and he was feeling bright
i had my bouncy kitten back it filled me with delight.

now  my cat was normal his cold had gone way
i sat him on my knee and cuddled him all day

Untie the knot in my throat
So that I can try to speak
Let the air flow to my lungs
So that I can remember to breathe
If I look away in disgust
It’s from the tears that want to run
Don’t mind my smile
It’s the only wall I have
a response to a panel about domestic violence

There are too many voices

Inside my head and out

They follow each other

They follow me down

I'm alone in the dark

Screaming to shout

No one is there

"Please get me out"...

They all want to change me

I don't know who I am

This mirror can't help me

There's nothing to see..

Please mute these voices

Please turn on the light

All I want is the moonlight

The sun and the stars..

The wind and the rain

Take me there, wherever you are

I'm alone in a corner

In the dark with my heart

My mind might be broken

But my soul is so stark

Just take my heart for a token

And silent
These whispers*...

I can't be brave
I'm not that smart
My thoughts are zombies
And I'm never good enough
I've lost enough
I won't lose you
So I will keep working
I will keep living
Just to keep you safe and loved

I'll pretend for the next few weeks
That life will be splendid
That I don't feel guilty about myself

And how I feel like I dragged you with me

And how I broke myself into shards
To leave this decoy with you
*While I bury the rest in the sand

Yes, darling, maybe now you can see
That I am not all I seem to be
Beneath the innocent laughter displayed
Is a girl brought to her knees in the fray

And in the closet, skeletons scream
As ghosts of my past jump out at me
Yes, everyone left when they saw the dark
There are just too many scars left on my heart

It's only been weeks, but i hope you'll stay
Even after you have seen the fray
Please darling, don't you leave
But I won't blame you,
because nobody could take it, you see.
Every scar is a lesson learnt; it makes you who you are and gives you strength.

{{Yes, I'm scared to tell you, because the ghosts of my past have scared so many away. My story's not complete yet, but I'm scared to go on, because I just hope you won't run away like them, afraid of the mess I am.}}

I don't feel supported,
Or loved by your words.

Friends should make each other feel good, that's what we're here for.

I never hear "you're beautiful"
Or "you're perfect the way you are"
When I need it most,
When I'm struggling with my sense of self.

I don't need a pity party,
And I'm not an attention seeker,
But every now and then a nudge
From you
Would mean the world
To me.

I'm not as strong as I like to think,
I'm very apt to break,
And I've become weaker
Without the love I need to grow.

I don't want to lose you,
That's the worst that I can fear,
I just want you to gently remind me
That you care.
