You used to look at me
As if you couldn’t believe
God could craft a creature
So brilliant
You’d sing your love songs
As if they’d been penned
Just for my soul
And you’d describe
Flutters from the heart
That would never grow old
But something changed
That space we rented
Got sold
We was kicked out to the cold
Left with nothing but
Each other to hold
And you suddenly felt
The creases and folds
I’d managed to hide
Then that light shifted
In your eyes
That soft brush of your tongue
Became slick whip licks
That knocked me down
To crumb
We shiver different pavements
And those same tunes
Just make me numb
More consumed by the riff
Than the lyric
Because anything positive
Just feels like it’s taking the piss
Out of scum
Like I am
You once sent me flying
Now you send me to curb
It’s either bone chilling silence
Or eye pricking words
You don’t look at me
At all
And certainly not as something special
How could you let
That raving heart settle?
I can’t keep beating
The same points
And starting
The same rows
Can’t keep holding all this weight
Between daggered eyebrows
Come, let’s go searching for that home again
Get looking for a safe spot
Bleed some love into the mortar
Shut the door so the hate stops
Blowing in and through
And making bones just flutter
Lock this love in tight and safe
Before it joyrides the whole swivel of the gutter
Please look at me like I’m special again
Please be amazed just by my sight
Or go and fuck yourself too, you cunt
I guess it is more fun to fight…
