Dare I dream that life will be
Dare I hope that they might flee
Dreams that come and fill my night
Dreams that make me hide from sight
Dare I think that it might come
Dare I greet the morning sun
Settled now my thoughts will be
All is well ‘tween you and me
Through the curtain
If you dare
No way through
But mustn’t care
Try to smile
To ease the way
But walkie talkie
Wins the day
You need to know
that the rain will come
and cleanse your soul
it will sting and burn
and hurt you so
and in the end
you’ll think you know
and then you’ll see
how real it was
and then you’ll laugh
until your bones
ache and burn
and hurt you so
and so you’ll laugh
then cry
until you know
that the end has come
and you’ll wish you’d known
that when it’s done
you’ll cry some more
that when it’s done
you’ll laugh and cry
that when it’s done
you’ll finally know
how true it was
and then you’ll see,
you’ll see your past
and then you’ll cry
your very last
I don’t judge
No sirree
People are
Who they are
I don’t judge
No sirree
What’s that you say?
The lump is back
Broken teeth
Yellowing
Lips are thin
Anger’s in
Listen please
From Cadle Street
To old Town Hill
Safety found
In Gwyrosydd still
There is no time
I don’t judge
My lips are thin
Shadow puppets
Soon swarm in
Please listen
I need a life
You have to see
You’re the first
She waved at me
I think it’s back
Peronni please
Then I’ll drive
I do not judge
My lips are thin
Tick tock
She came home drunk
Many times
Popeye Phil
Fell down the hill
Time’s run out
Don’t judge
Hate self
Love all
Please call
I feel the lump
It unravels
If I look at it
Poison flows throughout the blood,
A deadly mission,
Of that no doubt.
Needle hurts going in,
Days that follow taste like tin.
Escape the body,
Calm the mind,
Call the nurse,
Some are kind.
My numbers say it’s worth the pain,
I nod along to convince my brain.
Poison done and drip comes out,
There is a future,
Must not doubt.
Secret thoughts, guilty lies,
I turn the head and avoid the eyes,
I said I was sorry but it didn’t mean much
Is there time for one more kiss?
Tell myself I have the right,
Tell myself that no one died.
I said I was sorry but it didn’t mean much
Will you give me one more kiss?
So sorry now you caught me in another lie
So sorry now I made you really want to die
So sorry now but I really need to ask for this
Can there be another kiss?
I won’t ask for more,
A final kiss.
Pours a wine
Hard to find
Knows he left
Not her best
Takes a drink
Indistinct
What he said
Not again
Bright light tonight
Searches every night
But she is denied
No choice
Couldn’t take her voice
Now he will not leave
He’s in her head
He wishes that
He were dead
Bright light tonight
Dreams of other men
He must make amends
Holds his hand once more
Now she’s truly bored
Tried so long
Couldn’t be that strong
And she’s in his head
And he’s nearly dead
Bright light tonight
Bright light tonight
I love my Mam and Dad,
Although they made me sad
Some time ago
I think they know
I love my Mam and Dad
I thank my Mam and Dad
Although some days were bad
Long time ago
We all must grow
I thank my Mam and Dad
I’ll miss my Mam and Dad
Of that I’m truly glad
As nights draw in
And I grow thin
I’ll miss my Mam and Dad
I am more than in the here and now
I am more than just last week
I am more than what you think of me
I am more than what you seek
I am the one who lived my childhood
I am the one who worked so hard
I am the one who thought she knew the truth
I am the one who dropped her guard
I will be the highest part of me
I will be the strongest one
I will be the things I need to be
My story isn’t done
Musty dust and mouldy cheese
Creaky neck and broken knees,
Strangers in and strangers out
Try to breathe, must not shout,
Rest awhile, you need your strength
Scalpel teases tumor’s length ,
Then the burning, will it hurt?
Still I nag, responses curt,
Shoulder pain, I snap and roar,
Then I’m sorry, just so sore,
It’s time to fight and not give up
A drop of hope refills my cup.
