Only me

 At war with myself.

As if you could stay,

When I ruin your perception

Of me.

Left you with just a dream,

Of the person you hoped I was.

When I was indeed just another,

Like another lonely night.

Like being too scared to say,

What's really on our mind.

But I wouldn't mind if you do.

Would it be too much trouble

If you did.

Just an only lonely child,

That's taking their time to.

Monday

 Broke boys club,

We all got the

Job centre sadness.

We all witnessed

Them move the goal post,

And never tell us the rules.

So welcome to, 

Job centre sadness, 

Forget dreams, 

They don't pay the rent. 

Just got to make it to payday, 

Just got to streach out

What we got. 

Make it do, 

Another appointment 

At the job centre, 

Feels like it could destroy you.

Last exit

 Got the blocked nose blues,

Born guilty.

Call the girls again, 

And tell them dail a drink is on their way.

And we'll keep the curtains shut.

Don't worry about Monday.

Anyone a phone charger?

Anyone care?

The best of a bad bunch..

Trying to keep the weekend going,

Abusing our serotonin,

Sharing in hope for a kiss.

In hope not to miss.

Fear of missing out,

And I can't resist.

The Last Dance

 One more hit,

Just to help me sleep.

Sunday dinner is going to need extra gravy.

I always think I need to stop,

Because I don't know when to stop.

And it's hard to sort myself out.

When the weekend comes and takes me out.

Tonight Mathew,

Well I'm my own worse nightmare.

Peaked too soon,

Let the dogs out.

Left myself with some awful doubts.

Swear on my hair,

The taxi is late.

From introvert to your best mate



In two liters of ciders time.

Then melter who would be best left behind.

So I wanna kill the clown in me.

But that can wait another week.

Blocked nose blues

 Got the block nose blues,

Trying to shake off the stress.

Trying to make the most of the weekend, 

two days off to be myself. 

Trying my best.

I don't mind being your left arm.

Though I can't shield you from harm.

Don't close your eyes,

Embrace,

Because if you feel the hurt,

Then you no longer 

have to worry about the pain.

The scars heal in time. 

And everything will be fine. 

 Another  blocked nose Monday, 

Another week wishing things were fine.

Numb yourself

 2 nil

Cheap thrills

Kebab sauce all over you.

Don't care,

Sing and swear.

Call up your girl,

But she is raging at you.

Long walk home,

Two steps forward one back,

Sure best craic.

Fall asleep, singing your favourite song,

Sleeping talking, half dressed.

And this is how we numb ourselves.

Monday

 Up all night

I got demons to fight.

Work all day,

Got bills to pay.

So quiet,

With so much to say.

If I sneezed,

Would you say "bless you".

And would you listen?

If I told you all the things I like about you.

Would you help me?

If I fell?

Be the words on my lips

When I can't speak?

Help me find my dancing feet?
