My boy. I looked down at him with pride, his Everton scarf wrapped safely around his neck. He was my boy. We walked towards the bus stop. The excitement was paramount on his face - we’d been looking forward to this for weeks, months. His…

It was what they had always dreamed of, a feeling, painted. Untouchable. Nobody could break it the surface could not even be tainted. Solid. Strong. He had followed her to hell, to the dark depths of desperation, isolation, he had been…

The sun told me to ‘look out and all around!’ ‘Make it mean something’ I was told by the moon The face in the sky shouted to me ‘Let it be what you need, not what you think you want.’ So I sat, sunk deep in the grass, fell back, played dot…

The last of your things lie dormant, not unlike my feelings, on the shelve in the now sparsely filled wardrobe that we chose together, My fingertips twirl through your silk nightdress that feels empty, weightless like a turtle dove’s…

Vacancy

I’ve got the blues In bright light Covered in colour Drowned in darkness My heart skips In the distance That heavy hand Hits that last key My answer Is to forget where you are Lie down, lonely heart I’d end this If I knew Where it…

‘Nothing’s lost forever. In this world, there’s a kind of painful progress. Longing for what we’ve left behind, and dreaming ahead.’ Bright white lights, the kind that usually come with images of angles and a sense of God about them,…

I felt my body uncontrollably sway as i stood on the rickety wooden bridge, the champagne spilling out of the glass I was holding in my manicured left hand. The beautiful ring my father had generously purchased for me on my 16th birthday…

Trapped

Her eyes appeared a shockingly distant, beautifully bright, meaningfully perfect blue. Her thick, inky black lashes shadowed effectively over them as if to protect such innocent beings. She stared bravely ahead, a fierce yet anxious frown…

Humanity an illusion Compassion a myth Feeling of guilt inexistent Murder no problem Being a murderer for a ‘higher goal’ Hoping it is a lie But who believes in a lie is a murderer himself Murderer of truth, of humanity

My dearest. The time has come for me to write you a letter. I feel that you deserve to know. It is time now. You need to know what you can and cannot get away with anymore. The boundaries must be set. You’ve had free reign for far too…

It’s some time since I sat back, Looked at the world, Departed from this reality in a grand subconsciously built space rocket. I want to build a sandcastle in the snow and a snowman in the sand. I want to write a letter and see it float,…

Today I want someone to hold me right, And hold on tight. I want them to take me places, And ignore the other girl’s faces. It’s just me they see. Tomorrow I want someone to love and leave, I don’t give, yet I receive. I want them to treat…
