Check. That look, Stop it. You know exactly what's just happened, So stop with the sympathetic little faces, Speaking in hushed voices, Speak up, Scream at me, Give what I'm feeling inside a voice, Because none of you know. My wife, A co…

Violence. The answer. A disposable question. Finite. Unstoppable. A firm requisition. Conflict. War. It's a circular conversation. Violence. The answer. A disposable question. Human loss.
And that's when I realised it was my fault, I just don't deserve someone like you, Somebody who doesn't have long left here, And deserves to go out with a bang, At least once, But I could never tell you the truth, That you could be happie…
Teach me things, Not about the world, Life, But about you. You're my favourite subject, An exam I can't wait to sit, Savour every page, Collecting marks, Scars, Tell me about your scars, Do you have any? How did you get them? You don't li…
I'm her. All this time, Hating what she was, What she represented, Everything she did, And now I become her, I am her traits, Her reflection in the cold, shrewd glass, Mocking me, Yet knowing my every move, An arm extends to me, But why c…

Addicted, A parasite a wound inflicted, My stability compromised, Chronically vindictive. Relationships are burning like the corpse, Of every dead weight and dead gate that I've tried to close, I'm fucking sick of it, The feeling finds ano…
I do not deserve her.
This town is deadbeat, We need some fresh meat, To strip back the colours, And take back the others, What's a killing, When it's already out there, When they're already down there, With their heads are bouncing off the walls, I used to th…
So what's the rush? We're just taking our time here, Nobody needs to tell us no, We're still weighing up the options, Just give us a chance to make our move.
We crossed the wires, Bit the bullet, Dared to pull the trigger, When nobody else would pull it, It's established A lack of respect, We're the resident administrators, And we're about to infect, Your mind. Someone better be watching when…
Oh God, What is that? Urgh, an alarm, Why did I set one of those? Urgh, roll over, roll over, Great. It's just as loud, I don't even like this song, Stupid badly tuned radio, And oh look, Now they're interviewing somebody, Who must have bee…
Which begs the question, why the fuck are you stood here telling me about it when you should be out there fucking chasing her?
Where should you put the candle? Well, isn't that obvious? Find the darkest part of the room, Place it there, And watch it crawl across the walls, Spreading it's light. And should the room catch fire, Then let it burn, For destruction, Is …

It's been a while since my feet hurt this much, I miss it, It feels like effort put in, And paid off. A journey, Always the same pattern, You start with good intent, Your feet take a beating on the way, But you get to sit down in victory a…
Hello everybody. I'm dead. So stop looking at me. My eyes are red. And everybody says that it's all in my head. But I disagree. Nobody else can be as shaky as me.
And I acquit myself to a life of silence. Burn it into my back. A memory. And nobody shall hear these songs. For they shall cease to exist.
And then it occurred to me, If I could write essays this easily, I'd already be doing a Masters.
Why are you still talking? Honestly. Look around. Your grip on the room is slipping, In and out of consciousness. Yet you won't stop. Oh no, You'll keep going. Forever and ever. Well, until four. Fourever. Look what you're reduced us …
Listen. You need to get away from here. There's nothing left, They're coming from every side, Always closing in, Closer, closer, Trying to destroy everything, And if you stand in their way, You'll be next. But what about me? Don't leave m…
So take your blindfold off. See the world that's right in front of you now. You're not alone here. So stop acting like a fucking martyr.

Doesn't It Seem To Advocate Nearly Crippling Errors?
Because every poet, At some point, Seems to write a poem about words. I don't understand it. Language. A means to an end, Something that generates, A message to send. And if you must write of language, Then surely you must realise, That …
You see, It's always the girl with her eyes pointing at her ankles, That catches my eye, Because inside the bubble she creates, She probably has the most interesting things to say, And as long as you listen, It'll all be ok. And soon her t…
Oh just pull yourself together. I'm getting sick of this, You turning up here all the time, Like I'm some kind of agony aunt. Brown those up before you put them anywhere near my pass. I mean, I don't see why you can't just get on with thi…
