You ripped up

You ripped up your clothes, you ripped up everything in your room, you ranted and screamed and shouted things obscene, and you burnt them all in the backyard under the stars, and you wore sunglasses and ate ice-cream, and in a happy mood you ripped up more of your clothes, and you ripped up everything […]

You remain

You. You remain, you remain the same. You do not change, yes, you against the world like to bang and blame, and you try to blow the world to pieces, with your infernal brain, and you, you remain, you remain the same. You do not change, and you have got crazy ideas, and some strange […]

You never

You never err on the side of caution, but does anyone care, for you sit unmoved and resolute and you gesticulate, and expostulate and wave your hands in the air, and you have your opinions, and mine they are as of as much value as yours, and yet you, you pretend to listen, and I […]

You made me

When I first saw you, I looked at you twice, I had to do a double take, a double take of you, you with those tempting eyes, because you mesmerised me, and I fell for you, and into those eyes so blue, and your eyes, how they sparkled like the ocean, and there was a […]

You hold out your hand

Sat here in a bar, some expensive bar, sat here in a bar out of curiosity, because I just fancied a change, and I thought I would sit in elegance for a while, instead of amongst the alcoholics in a pub, and amongst the deranged, and how good it is to have a change, and […]

You had

You had an inkling, you had a feeling, you had a feeling that it would be the same, you had clouds, you had clouds in your brain. You had a dream, but you couldn't see, and you wanted to see clearly but love, a fractured love had interfered with your memory, and your heart was […]

You favoured the brave

In World War one you favoured the brave, then often they ran away, and you criticised them before listening, to what they had to say. Yes, you favoured the brave, but they were educated, and you could not understand them, for being conscientious objectors, because it was cowardice to you, but them saving their own […]
