No-body's Fool!

You don't understand,

I’m not as stong
as I may seem

While my heart breaks
I’m dangerous.

I can hear her laughing
in the back ground

One day she'll be wailing
 I won't be around.

I’m nobody's fool

What the hell
are you playing at?

Please don’t be
so cruel

Why can't you
come right out
and say it

I can take it.

This bed grew

so much larger

And now winter
feels so cold 
the smell of the rain

in the wind haunts me.

claws of betrayal 
have settled deep
into the ground

I wait
for footsteps
to enter
this house
has no sound.

Rumours

spread like wild fire

So then tell me
what's her name?

I know that you
will not return.

It was written
in her love letters
that I found

All placed together
scarlet ribbon bound.

Bloody Valentine!

Woke

or did I?

Was I already awake?

It was morning

it may have been morning!

Unable to tell 

how long I’d been sleeping

What you left 

was not worth keeping.

I couldn’t move

my body numb

Black and blue 

from your fist kiss

How much love

to bash in my head?

Another day

I’ll have to hide in bed

My face hurts

so swollen

I think my jaw

is broken.

No-one can see me 

in this state

They’ll misread your love

as pure hate.

Sober 

you are different 

so gentle,

so kind.

You beg for forgiveness

and promise 

last time.

You’re so remorseful

with tears 

in your eyes.

Just like the last time

I believe your lies.

Yet, this time is different

quite different

you see.

When you leave.

go off to work today

I'll take my reprieve. 

The only solution  

a sacrifice

I'll take my own life.

To save myself

and no longer

be 

your wife!
