Marrying a Young Wife

Confusion just settles in Julius’ house
And refuses to leave like well-fed mouse.
Julius needs nothing short of a tom cat
To out push whom he is sure is a vile rat:
A wife too cheerful with younger men
One: Ex-Boyfriend when he counts to ten…

Also, a wife whose bosom laughs at guys, 
While she makes sure it seems fantastic lies! 

Old Anna he’s dodged can give no child,
Younger Stella with his wedding ring wild 
‘’ Childless Marriage to this Rubbish is mild!
The newest opinion of Julius Rothschild…

Julius can swear blokes are tasting his apple
And prays for moment he’d with this grapple
‘’God! Let me see in a wrong place her blouse,
To kickstart the handling of a smart louse.

Ex-Boyfriend

Open the door and let the fire in,
Only he will purify my soul.
Hold up your hand
And you'll say, " I'm Sorry, I still love you."

Talk,talk, but I know you're lying,
And we are no longer in this world.
What's not there can't be saved,
Open your mind wider.

I feel the wind of freedom again,
He broke my attachment to you.
Maybe it's part of your nature,
Always take care only of yourself.

Everything that bound us is broken,
And I will not be the one who lives in the dark.
Your attention is on the other one,
Now let her live in semi-darkness.

I will go there, to the mysterious world,
Where there are secrets at every turn.
Everything in my life will be enough,
And then I can be happy again.

Jealous Ex

she
walked straight
up to him
and spit in his
face


Goodbye

you are more of a stranger now
than before we even met
i should throw out the memories
fold your name into a paper airplane
and fly it south
it’s just an ache i can do without
i don’t even want to think of you
i want you expunged from every crevice
effaced from all my floors and walls
i want you completely scraped off of my existence
because i can’t deal with all the residue
leftover crumbs of a sour love
yet my heart begs “just one more hour, love!”
but i can’t bear another second with you
so here it is, my last gift to you:
    a final farewell, a heartsick adieu

Loyalty To My Ex

You love him, you want him
He doesn’t want you
You’ve had no one for so long
just the person that you knew
He’s stuck in your head
Glued to your mind
Friends say forget him
There’s new guys to find

The loyalty shown,
You never did cheat,
His love was enough
For you to retreat
You thought you were comfortable 
the relationship shared
Was so pure with love 
That you wasn’t aware

The evil, the nasty
He was drifting from you
The sweet caring person, that you thought that you knew
Was gone, what was left?
Just a stranger behind
His love had run out, the truth could not hide
You try to move on,
but there’s no way you could
You feel nothing but empty
where true love once stood.

I Think About You

When you take away my luxuries
When you take away my phone 
When I’m sitting here by myself
With nothing all alone
I think about you
I really think about you


I hate what weve had to go through
I still don’t understand 
I want to say a lot to you 
But I don’t think that I can 
As every time I try 
you turn into someone else
Or maybe this is you now 
but I’m worried for your health 
Whether you find new love 
or stay by yourself 
Know that I tried with you 
because I think about you
I think about you

By Rosie Hill


To Ex-Boyfriend

You took me to the hills
But you abandoned me
I cannot climb down alone
Bring to me a tall ladder
to climb down slowly
via your forbidden heart

Ex-Boyfriend

Fickle
Vain
An intolerable drain
Will my life be ruined by him
A right miserable pain?

I persist in seeking his
Bucketful of disdain
I would I am sure
Have more pleasure from the
Rain in Spain

I am glad he didst bid me farewell
Pity he did it before
I made that get lost 
Voodoo spell

Is it too late I wonder
To ask my ex dear
Why the sacksful of hate?

No doubt it is
He has moved on
Spreading more hate
