Songs of love
Songs of longing
Listening to the words
Which tie me in knots
How do they do that to me?
Tap into my thoughts?
My feelings?
My heart?
I need to purge
All the emptiness within
Unleash the sorrow for now
Once again
And each time you leave

Last night was spent
for the briefest of hours
held in your arms
Exquisite movements
filled with breathless longing
made in unison
Until the inevitable time
which always brings dread
I wish you could stay
I'm not sure you know how much
I yearn for your embrace
each night
We could soothe each other to sleep
and the darkness which surrounds us
would no longer keep us awake

I had a sudden memory of us together
while I was walking home today
I had to laugh a little
And wondered if my face
Gave the game away
Conveyed my thoughts
At the smirk across my face
Lips curled at the corners, the ones
You’ve kissed
So delicately
So passionately
It was so vivid, felt like you were there
Then I remembered I needed to go shopping later!
**** reality for shoving it’s **** in my face!

Tinder boys
With your head up high
Your camera down low
Us girls
Don't always
Want that
You know?

Poetry...

Because it’s cheaper than a psychiatrist

And no one sees the tears fall
