Set fire

Working.
Trying to get on with my life.
And all I can feel is you're eyes burning; waiting for me.
To come and play with you.
Bitter and angry it makes me, pushing you away with frowns and sharp dicing words.

When all I want to do. Is sit here by the window. Staring at the flakes of blossom drifting off the trees in the back garden.
Time.
To myself.
Sitting watching nature unfold and say hello.

Hold me in you're arms
and tell me it's ok
to go back to
yesterday.
When we loved each other.

Another Summer

I've left you to you're own demise.
You're ruin and
waste,
even you cannot
disguise.

It pains me to see you
go
down
deep
below.

Into the grasps
of a past life.
Full.
Of toxins and rife.

But you had to
go.
LEAVE.
Try to grow.

I love you still.

From you're fate I
could not save.
Only, now
you have to be brave.

Everything

When she sits with a coffee in her hand and wonders what is left.
She see's everything.
Wanting of nothing. Need now a dusty pastime to her.
She see's everything.
Pot's of golden memories and promise circle her.
She see's everything.
Decadence and desire met effortlessly into her hands of grace.
She see's everything.
She wants to fly. Set flight.
She wants to buy. Steady feet.
She wants to hide. Here; seat.
She see's everything.
A creature once of the sea, land and night. Global, nationwide sight.
She see's everything.
A beauty.
A brain.
A girl.
She has everything.

A feeling. A nudge.

A crush,
a fling,
a faux feeling.
Like, desire, lust,
a satan thing.

A crack
shows itself.
Questions arise,
sugared answers
cannot disguise.

Crunch time
comes.
Lost and disgraced,
we turn to the
crumbs.

A break.

Our heart he did
not take.

Welcome shadow

Above your towering shadow,
I peer.
I feel safe under your darkness.
No fear
Of being a nobody on my own.

Much preferring,
to be your malnourished clone.
To you,
so beautiful and vibrant,
the centre of everyones
que.

The social butterfly in every
way.
The men who dare to fall for you
simply
gravely
pay.

Behind you a path of broken
hearts.
From them, I learnt you could never
part.

The hurt your glowing smile
and cheeky flirt gave.
Resulting these men to isolation in a
faraway cave.

Still they never learn.

For your charm and lure,
they only yurn.

In your shadow I see.
A beauty.
A class.
A coy
lost invisible girl.

Someone I no longer want
to be.
