Beseech
Plead.
Anything else would be too savage.

I taught you
or I taught myself to trick you, me.

Please
Please what?
Please who?
Not myself.

Something's not right
I hear strange noises,
see cavernous shapes creeping round the edges of my curtains
and you betrayed me in my sleep.

Colourful language
bristling behind the black white wall,
I rein myself in because to speak would be to erupt.

Obliteration
What more is there to say?

Please
don't let me down.

Are these my hands
looking so grey and lifeless?
Monday 14 March 2011
You promised
to look after me.
But can I believe you?
Wednesday 2 March 2011
I dwell on
possibility.
I wonder why we failed.
What was it that stopped us working?
Tuesday 1 March 2011
What inadequacy
should I single out for criticism?
Monday 14 February 2011
Love
you have become unfamiliar to me.
We have grown unaccustomed to each other.
An unseemly gulf keeps us apart.
Friday 11 February 2011
My hands are
mottled
and defy the heat of my body.
Wednesday 9 February 2011
I will risk
my own bed,
and hope I won't haunt myself.
Tuesday 8 February 2011
I might have been away
but you kept me trapped nonetheless.
Monday 7 February 2011
What
no repercussions for my unbridled words?
Thursday 20 January 2011
Haven't I
got enough bruises?

I remember
why I left you.
Tuesday 11 January 2011
You teased me...
knowing I would fall flat.
Monday 10 January 2011
The edifice
I have been building around me
is starting to crumble.
Should I let it fall.
Tuesday 4 January 2011
My confidence falters
You are making it too hard for me
and I sense failure.
