If I had a penny for every thought
would I be bedecked in richer cloth
would my opinion be widely sought
or would I be worth nought

I can’t hide how I feel about you

to refrain from kissing you

is all I can do

You used to be mine

I thought I’d be fine

but my feelings are had to define

One moment I’m mad

the next I’m sad

guilt over feelings I’ve had

See I was the one who let you go

for reasons I now don’t know

they seemed so important then

I wish I had that time again

You’ve found someone new

honestly she suits you

she’s bubbly and smart

she’s got you down to a fine art

Your still my friend

I hope that never ends

No longer my lover

always my friend

Black the colour of my soul

Deep descent, a swallowing hole

depressive thoughts hard to control

emotions taking their toll

Cup overfilling
passion spilling
head spinning
body winning

Time passes so slow
basking in loves afterglow
contemplating getting up
but hoping for another sup

Your silence is provoking

the emotions your evoking

my anger is choking

my pride I’m stroking

Speak now or never

I’m not going to wait forever

nonchalance may ties sever

maybe your being clever

Silence not always golden

fills me with foreboding

my bad side its goading

come on, start scolding

A tender smile

A crooked grin

A hearty laugh

A little giggle

A sneaky titter

A sly snigger

A mighty guffaw

Whichever way you share the joy

Its ok no rules apply

She knew as soon as mam left

he’d start

he’d broken every healthy piece

of her heart

Sweets and toys galore

daddy’s ****

pretty new shoes

legs torn apart

Offer resistance

ungrateful upstart

Their wedding day

fatal soul dart
