My bones are aching with sadness
It feels impossible to leave my bed

My eyes are swollen shut
From all the tears I have shed.
I keep replaying our memories,
Over and over in my head.

My hands can no longer write,
From all the paragraphs of me begging you.
My heart has sunk too deep,
Due to what you put me through.

I wonder if you feel this type of agony.
At times I wished you did
So that you could understand me.
But deep down I know it is not true,
For you have already replaced me
With somebody new....
Canned oats.

I take the tray from her lap
evening over
blinds drawn to darkening skies
we have weathered
the fury of another day
she sleeps, and I will have to
wake her to go to bed
those rosy coloured dreams
when our bodies and minds
were young and naïve
have caved in to reality
travellers on an epic journey
we have survived so far
who knows what lies around
the next corner
for now I'm happy to do
the washing up
tomorrow can wait in the wings

I forget
I remember
I forget
I remember
Like crashing waves,
I too will be forgotten.
Thoughts at the end of a college farewell.

When looking at me
see yourself
We’re not that different
Just reflections seen in another light.
