Irrational violence

Life with all its charms
falls daintily at my feet
turns up it's face and smiles
so I kick it in the teeth
and walk away, fast.

Lost

Big fat tears roll down my cheeks
Its done and gone, moved on.
Awkward times over a cup of tea
Looking out the window
listening to you and she
recount how your lives now mix.
And all I can think is
That should be me
Fuck, but that should be me.

Exhaustion

Mind numbing boredom
slow burn pain
energy seeps out
bone weary leaks in
through the gaps
left by you.

Lay my head down
just for a while
the closing of eyes
and closing of doors
change the sounds
change the sights.

Sleep now, slow the beat
down into darkness
warm and complete
away from the efforts
away from the push
silence is a release
