Dear Absent Friend

Dear absent friend
Are you still there?
Do you still lurk in the places we used to?
Or have you moved on to pastures new?

Dear absent friend
Do I ever cross your mind?
Even on days with no rain from the skies 
It rains from my eyes

Dear absent friend
I long to hear your voice
For your asks I could not fulfill 
But I miss you still 

Dear absent friend
I hope that you are happy
H...

Trust

Long slevees

Cut hair

Pixie?

Hell yeah

I trust her 

With my soul

She says I shouldn't though

 

Buts she shouldn't 

trust me either

We watch the world burn

We laugh about it

She could kill me

No dought about it

I don't think she will

So let's just hope

In the good of humanity

 

Let's listen to shitty music

Crush on gay guys from tv

Let's s...

Uniform

Fixed my binder

Ripped my tights

Gave bad dating advice

In a uniform 

that doesn't fit me right

 

I walked the walk

I fought the fight

I danced to Chappel Roan

With all my might

Cause I love the dance

And I love my friends

So I'll stay in a skirt

Until the end

If it means that I can

Spend more time with them

Pain Relief

When will it go away?

 

The pain in my chest

 

Pain in my stomach

 

Pain. 

 

It’s repetitive and never stops

 

It creeps up on me like bugs

 

Stings like a wasp

 

Bites like a mosquito

 

And leaves, taking a small part of me

 

Some say it’s a part of life 

 

Maybe I don’t want that

 

If this is life 

 

Maybe I don’t want any p...

On Water

I’ve never forgotten the Glen river’s  

smell on those wet Donegal days.

Its convoluted arteries drained

through bogs of purple heather,

to emerge in petrichor and painterly swirls.

 

Just boys, we traipsed its fern banks

on mizzled days with wet feet

squelching. Off balance, our eyelines

like gunsight, skimming black stones

in flat counts to the far bank.

 

Our...

Lifelong Friend

When all the leaves fall from the trees,
what does it mean to you and me?
Perhaps it wasn't meant to be
as now we reach the end.


Is there some place we didn't go?
We tried every fork in the road,
and never seemed to find a home.
My dear, what's at the end?


But we're ok. Yeah, certainly
we could have done things differently.
But side by side we took this ride
and so what is to ga...

Strange Friends

I was a stranger, you took me in

but I found you were stranger still.

I guess we’re two peas in a pod

cuz neither of us fits the bill

of all the many ways the world expects

two blokes like us to be.

You took me in, now we’ve become...

the strangest friends you’ll ever see.

I’m that friend

Yes, I’m that friend that’s mean but true.

Forever trying to look out for you.

 

I’m that friend that’s firm but fair,

But at the end of each heartbreak, I’m always there.

 

I’m that friend that will constantly scold you to see,

That you’re not being the best you that you can be.

 

I’m that friend that calls you a fool;

When you let everyone else use you like a broken...

Left behind

Gone but never forgotten, is what they love to say,

but those waves will still hit, like nuclear shit,

Since the day we parted ways.

 

Just like that radioactive breath, that rots us to the core,

And eats us away, day by day, until once was becomes no more.

 

See the peace for you becomes my pain, your dreams became my twisted reality,

For the agony that you leave behind, w...
