Eat-up.

Does it make you feel good?
When your digesting me.
Just so your mouth,
Has some gossip to speak.

I keep hoping it’s a dream,
Or a nightmare I can flee,
But then I wake up to reality.
Can’t my sleep stop fooling me?

What am I supposed to do?
I look for an answer or a clue,
But then I get stuck because,
I can’t believe we’ve lost you.

What took you so long?

At 10 past 5
You waved goodbye
To your old life
Saying; “I’ll see you all on the other side”.

You saw your son
For the first time
In over a decade
I swear you both must have cheered and cried.

And with his arms open wide your son was singing; “Dad what took you so long?”

Short but sweet.

Your smile lights up a room.
When you laugh,
I feel I’ve been cured of all my wounds.

You make me feel protected.
You make me feel loved.

Loving you

I wish I could tell you,
How much you mean to me.
When I try to write about my feelings,
They simply escape me.

Pushover.

You dim the light of others,
just so you can shine.

Does it make you feel good smirking
when you hear them cry?

You take our kindness for granted
and we’d help you every time.

One day you might fall over
as we won’t be your shoulder to cry on this time.

Toxic.

I watch your stories,
I see you guys,
Together somewhere,
I hope that it’s nice.

Sometimes I wish I was there with you too,
But if you wanted me there you would have invited me too.

You never bother, so why should I?
You make me question, am I a bad guy?
You make me feel so alone.
As I walk away I whisper,
“I’d be better off on my own”.
