It doesn't matter about the vows
that might one day be spoken
when you tell me we'll always have this bond
that will never be broken

And though he gave you a ring
it doesn't keep you out of our bed
and you swear it's really the last time
because he wants to be 'wed

You tell me that he is enough
and that one day "I'll see"
but as long as you are keeping my body
you are still keeping some of me

I was always going to be more
than some boring basic husband
because as much as you like vanilla
you really love custard

I missed his previous call
because there’s no service in the lift
He says “I’ll have to call you at one
because he’s working the night shift”

So then he’s asks how I’m keeping
and tells me that I look well
I tell him I’m working harder than ever
And he says “I know, I can tell”

If you didn’t want me to speak
then why didn’t you perform a tracheotomy?
or saved yourself the trouble
and just given me a lobotomy?

I guess it doesn’t even matter
because he’ll pretend that he didn’t see

and as soon as he asks
you’ll just pretend that it wasn’t me

Do you think if we went back to the beginning
using your hands and mine
then perhaps we could rewind the clocks together
and call it “True Love Saving Time”?

You pull the wool over his dull eyes
every single time that we speak
and while you won’t give me back your heart
you won’t give it to him to keep

So you still refesh me by the hour
and call me up late at night
and though you’re doing me no wrong
You aren’t doing him no right

Oh, how special you must be
to be able to pull these words from my heart
as you are the only subject matter
that I have managed to turn into art

But as they spill like tears from my eyes
out of my control
is there any point in owning an everlasting quill
when you don't want to know?
Thomas Alan Oct 2022
You could spill all your secrets
on to my bed

Or drown me
in all of the lies
that I keep being fed

Why don’t you laugh at the poetry
and all the words that I’ve said?

Or ask me to get on my knees

Or get the **** out of your head
