Sometimes
I suddenly remember
the last thing we said to one another
parting

'If you're ever 
feeling self-destructive
hell, look me up 
and we can 
destroy ourselves together'

Sometimes
by chance, I remember
the last time we sat across a table
drinking

'If you're ever feeling
like the whole mad world
needs a little petrol
you know where to find me
and we'll
torch the fucking lot'

You and I 
always were the great destroyers
such a shame 
we never got 
to spark each other up

You and I
always were the great destroyers
so lucky
looking back
we parted when we did...
