And if we returned 

We would be different people

Let’s never go back 

When we are apart

A piece of me is missing

I am never whole

Behind the moon’s face

There must always be two sides

To every story

Beneath the surface

In the dark and gloomy depths 

Lurking jealously 

Empty and finished

All that I am you used up

I am discarded 

Azure skies dappled

With whispers white wine clouds

A new adventure 

A chemical soup

Tearing my insides outside

A slow reaction 

Cheeks salty and wet

Hide away under my hood

Waiting for the night

Though the fire dies

And every sun sets and burns

These feelings won’t fade

Winter rushes by

The rippling water shake

Across shingle shores

Or will we endure?

Like rings enclosed in a tree

Sticking together

As seasons roll on

Like branches of a young tree

Will we grow apart?

A fork in the road

Surprises round the corner 

Windows that will close

Refuse mountains grow

Moulded plastic legacy

And the rest will fade

What’s hidden inside

In the darkness of our minds

We will never know

While the bluebells rest

Under their snowy blanket

Spring is put on ice

A clear blue morning

Reflects from my stony eyes

I gave you my all

A whole year has passed

And I wonder what has changed 

I still feel the same

Curled up in my shell

And safely hidden away

Never make me leave

From the mists of Spring

A million buds emerge

I am unprepared 

From when I awake

You are always on my mind

Until sleep drowns me

Fuzzy tired eyes

Blurring all of the boundaries

Life in duplicate 

What is the difference 

Between memories and dreams?

The past, the future

On dark English roads

In the grit and grime of life

Untangling love
