Last train home. Knowing they don’t have to come home tonight. And they won’t. After all, that was part of the deal. You were meticulous and it still happened. Take away meal for two with a bottle of whiskey in a fancy box. She says it’s for her new boyfriend. He’s cheating on his long […]

Je dirai : « C’est bien fait pour toi. »

You made your bed long ago but you’re just sitting on it Because running from your shadow made you realise you’re not as fast as you think And red flags merely look pale pink when you refuse to take off those rose tinted glasses So shattering glass ceilings still left you with Forever Ongoing Debris

Self hating in silence

You said you adore the woman with farewells in her smile and thorns around her tastebuds in a love note sent to me, why did you say it like that? I haven’t felt the same since
