Call Me Sara
You told me to listen
You told me you would change
I can't believe I listened
I can't believe I stayed

Now my bruises are your fingertips
My laughter has faded away
Our memories are jaded,
I can't believe I stayed

My face is your canvas
You like to paint with your fists
You drag your fingers across my skin
This is not your passion,
This is my pain

I love to see your laughter
I love to see your gain
Sometimes I think
This may be why I stayed

But then you raise your hand
Your face twisted with fury
I suddenly awake
Jump up

"PLEASE DON'T HURT MY JAMES"
I have a new bed
And I love it
But it doesn't feel right
Without you holding me in it.

I feel helpless.
Like a very small fish
in a very small bowl.
But sometimes,
you make me feel
like an even smaller fish
in an infinitely vast ocean.

I am torn apart by the currents of your anger-
Tossed and shaken,
Until I am left confused and
Alone
in the depth of your problems,
which you choose not to share with me;
and watch in enjoyment
as I struggle to figure things out for myself.
But, at the end of the day, I know I will be captured yet again,
only to be placed back into my suffocating home-
where you tap on the glass,
until I turn
belly-up.
I think it's unfair that you choose when to be mad at me, without telling me why.

19 January was the date
Yes it was fate
Meeting you was no mistake
With you I can't be fake

17 days well spent
You left then I realised what you meant
I remember all the places we went
And every message we sent

When I said I love you
You should know that every time it was true
A chance is all we need
And all I wish is for you to take the lead

Nothing in my life is stable you said one day
I will make it better I wanted to say
You took my hand looked into my eyes
That second I felt you were unlike the other guys

I loved you for who you are
I wish you didn't go away and yes so far
To ask you to change is something I'd never do
Everything was real and my love was true..
We all have that person who leaves without giving you closure.
Yes.
I wedged a comma between us.
But there was already an infinity stretching and you still haven't seen it.

They all lie together now,
Those who hate and the ones they hated.
The short and tall, rich and poor
Ones who worked and those who lazed away their lives...

They all sleep together, equals here, even though some have massive
stones to mark their passing, others just flat bricks
with a weather worn name

And when they wake in some other place
this will have been a bad dream they shared.
