I fought away the hands of time
as it wreaked havoc on our faces
and prayed I’d keep death at bay
while she counted us down to our graces

Thought I had tied our souls together
but nobody taught me how to tie my laces
I don't even think a double knot
could have kept us in our places

His eyes could light the room
before I even touched a curtain
He has beauty I do not
And of that I am certain.

a thief called during the night
and was in such a hurry
he only managed to take the not so valuables
the parts of me that I hate
the parts of me that are ugly
and now he's long gone
that is all he will remember
the worst of me
and he will wish he never robbed me at all

you may persue the same religion
but that book is mine
that is my holy bible
that you've got tucked neat between your thigh

my hand written annotations
will remain splashed across it's pretty pages
and my tear-stained droplets
will still be there when it beautifully ages

so you can read it, you can rip it
you can even tear out the middle
but my name will always be inside it
because we ****** so hard in riddle

You see these words right now
because for me you are still smitten
You had me filled with all the Bible
So just call me “super bottom *** kitten”

The temperature about 22’
whilst we walked The Lovers Walk  
You think if we close our eyes tight enough  
in our dreams we could maybe talk?

So I will meet you there in Alnmouth
Whilst he watches us like a hawk.

I saw me crying in the mirror
whilst I pulled the paint of the walls
and I won’t ever be forgotten
while I’m running down the halls

I’ll keep swinging from the ceiling
in and out of your dreams
to keep saving you from your nightmares
of our heartbroken themes
Thomas Alan Jul 2022
we met in the half painted bedrooms
where they speak words from a holy book
you cut yourself on the glass from a candle
and the broken pieces of me that I left on your floor

you recreate the parts of us
like you don’t even want it
acting out a play in real time
because you’re heart doesn’t mean it

i can still smell the fragrance
the out of date flapjack on the bookshelf
the vapour from the green tea in the cups
the feeling of together
all alone
just us
