Forgotten Friends

Forgotten Friends

As far back as I remember 
You were always my friend
I guess I presumed 
It would never end
You knew all my secrets
And I knew all yours
You knew all my strengths 
You knew all my flaws
And then we got older
Things started to shift
Boyfriends and jealousy 
Would soon cause a rift
I knew that he hurt you
Never treated you right 
I tried my best to warn you
After that night
When he tried to kiss me
As you drove his friends home
With your pregnant stomach 
You left him alone
It only confirmed 
What I already knew
My hatred towards him
Grew and it grew 
When your baby was born
I tried to be there
But you wanted him, not me
You just didn't care
So I took a back seat
And let you do it yourself
Our friendship was pushed 
To the back of the shelf
Then one night you came
In total dismay 
And I sat and I wiped
Your tears away
You decided to give things
One final try
I told you don't do it
Didn't understand why
Time pushed us further
And further apart
Then something happened 
Which broke my heart
My Mam passed away
You didn't even phone
I was left with my grief
Forgotten and alone
Then at her funeral 
You stood and watched me cry
Then you suddenly left 
without saying goodbye
In the time since
You've tried to make amends
But it's too late now
We can never be friends

Vicious Circle

Vicious Circle

A few counselling sessions
To change my cynical perceptions
A dose of CBT
To stop me...

Hustled

When the cards were dealt
I was distracted it seems
I got nightmares
They got dreams...

A Walk in the Park

Beautiful birdsong interrupted
By blaring sirens screaming
The drooling druggie flatlined...
