Abandoned

In August one night, my Cabbie said

"Don't cry! Everything's going to be alright."

That was the night I dropped my sapphire down the sink

And cried through the night, clawing at the U-bend.

I woke up the next day, still in tears

And realised that's what love was always going to be like.

Hot

Did I sleep til Spring?
I knew I'd missed something.
Now Summer's heat
Envelops the street
Hungry for something living to eat.
I guess I'll hide
Too hot outside
Watching and waiting while others thrive.

Thief

You stole my soul,

Destroyed my physique.

You made me this girl who was quiet and meek.

You broke me down,

Then broke my heart.

It hurt so much to fall apart.

But now you're back,

Condemning my scene.

I've finally moved on, why can't you see?

I can't stand that you stole my identity,

I wish you'd stopped. You could never take the hints,

But I know that you stole my finger prints.

Parades

Are you haunting still?
It took a while but I wrote that will.
But each night when you visit your spirit shakes my hold,
So I go right back and I write it in bold.
There's nothing of me left to be yours
So leave me alone, no more ghosts at my doors.

Solitude

"You were the only person who ever made me feel complete,"
You said, through inappropriate means.
You said you "wished you'd fought, more," for me.
But how is that fair, my fickle "friend",
When now it's you and her, "til the end"?
Well I've now moved on, I know you'll groan,
But I think you deserve to be on your own.
