You play with love like it’s fire,as if it doesn’t burn you from the inside out.But it does burn.And you cry in the ashesas if you didn’t light every match.You take, break, misshape hearts like clay,then beg us all to stay,while we stay warmand you turn cold,searching for something new to hold.Not someone.Some thing.Until boredom … Continue reading The Wronged Man (poem)

The Fear (poem)
Lock upon the bathroom door Crashing, screaming from behind Locked in fear upon the floor Message sent to no reply 2am, belongings gathered Right beside of your front door Venom spat into my face Get the fuck out, I want no more Petrified from rage ignited A part of you, you hide so well Beautiful … Continue reading The Fear (poem)
The Force Between Us (poem)
There is a force between us,invisible yet palpable,a silent current that flows through our veins,binding us in ways mere words cannot capture.In the stillness of dawn,your breath mingles with mine,a delicate symphonythat plays the music of our souls.This force is not loud,it does not shout or demand,it whispers gently,like the caress of a summer breezethrough … Continue reading The Force Between Us (poem)
The Little Things (poem)
Car park views, cold coffee and grey skies Dry eyes for the longest time Chipped nails and a few extra pounds Smiles and laughter still surround Windowsill desk and no wall divide No need for hearts to hide And it’s funny how we sweat the small stuff And let all the past ghosts haunt us … Continue reading The Little Things (poem)

A fighter all my life Will … Continue reading I Am Ready (poem)

la douleur exquise
I've sat staring at this empty screen for 20 minutes. Large cappuccino. Room fan on full. A unknown song plays (fall to water washed away, all that water washed away). Someone else's things surround me and this room is not mine. My hair is blonde now and I've put on a few pounds, my yellow … Continue reading la douleur exquise
What’s Left For a Lover?
If I could be in love with you My life would be ok But when you can't even love yourself What's left for a lover? Its probably always been you But right now everything around me is see-through Even you. And maybe I see my future held inside your ribs And maybe all my truths … Continue reading What’s Left For a Lover?
Stranger
You are a stranger At the end of the line, telling me not to apologise I'm a stranger Full of demons I know longer know how to hide Searching for a stranger Who still knows all of my secrets Praying to a stranger Still hoping they can keep it I can see a stranger looking … Continue reading Stranger
Tornado Heart
you were a beautiful disaster created inside my tornado heart sorry to my lost lovers for the storm inside my arms I'd have held onto you closer if I knew that you'd survive I just hope you can forgive me and admit at least I tried
