Without Child

One of these days,

Oh save me from the monotony.

Really, I can’t bear anymore.

All we women are whores.

Why live through other people?

Is it not possible?

To create a script for ourselves.

Anymore.

Pass the blame, pass the shame.

Of course my dear it does

Not belong to you nor I.

No tears in these thousand million eyes.

One more time, all the same.

One seed; one birth.

No crime.

Encourage the inner pain of others.

Do not doubt, as we will not,

Mention it.

Isn’t loneliness the greater evil?

A friend of fear an enemy of the heart.

Tis but a game, which has happened

Take part.

No escape for the living.

No release in death, no belief.

Just dreams of those of us who can

Understand.

Hurt is there, scar to remind you.

Does not matter where

Life will always heel beside you

No More Scales

Are you like your wine?
A green bottle sold and sunk
Down then out, fuck, fuck, fuck
Irritating my gut
Why don’t you just tell me?
What I can do, can’t do
When I can chew
When I’m with you

Pay for this, pay for that
I can fit into a place
And shag. And hate
I mean
I love you
Let’s talk some more of balance
Let’s balance some less of talk
Showing the lies and masking too

Much of the truth, that is you
Drink back, drink more
Saturate the core, of before
Reach the peak, goodbye peak
Say hello to those of us
Still hanging around the start
Where would we be? Without
We. Us. Together.
Is it enough?
Do we love, and can we be
Annoyed or irrationally
Irritated enough

Pour yourself another glass
Fuck, pour one for me too
Numbness is as good as it will
It always will, and always get
Drink back my love
Try not to, try to forget
The loves before the loves that’s now
I’m here to know

I can, and I will, drink and feel
Tell you
I’ll tell it all
Realise your strength towards us
When we are not
But now we are
Who said life should be about a balancing act?
Or a written or unwritten pact

Last drip from the bottle
Acid burning into the throat
I’ll share my water, just for tonight
I’ve changed my mind for you
I don’t want to fight
Tight arms around me again to feel like
I can be the one who is wrong
When neither of us is in the right
