When young Marnie was known by most for beauty few could match,
by looks alone many declared the woman was a catch.
And like most girls who are so blessed, she knew just what she had,
knew what...

Mel got knocked up very early
when out playing the field,
then she went and murdered it
before it all got ‘too real.’
Now her baby haunts her dreams,
and she sees only perdition,
there’s a reason we don’t kill kids,
there’s...

I once dated a weatherman
At first he had a sunny outlook…
He had our future all mapped out
But he suffered periods of deep depression so our relationship got rained off

I once dated an optician
He said he...

I'm confused, mentally I'm at a crossroad 
due to years of trial & error with failed 
love attempts, a small ratio of my mind doesn't
know if she's an angel in disguise

MY HUSBAND 
My dearest husband 
The father of my children 
The man to whom I pledge allegiance 
A goddess you have treated me
And I have adored you like my king
We have fought wars together and...

She wants good morning texts, but at that time I'm ready to say good night
She needs affection and cuddles, but I get scared and refuse to let people close to me
I refuse to apologise for...

Sweet talking chocolate
the curtain falls
eyes in darkness
playing the field

You played
in the grand entry
promising to never part
striking to
the violin cords

I sold my soul
to you I gave all
sold out completely
the hidden truth
behind the back

Lied in awful words
deeply...

So I finally let a new girl in
Convalescing and vulnerable
Tired of playing the field
Wanting to remember how to feel

And yes she made me feel
How she did make me feel!

She picked me up
And healed me
Refilled my...

Marriage has it's ups and it's downs
But it far exceeds the alternative
A lonely life without love and affection
Love's one of life's true superlatives

Some days we have heated discussions
That's how it was meant to be
Then she...

Oops, silly me! I do apologize for believing 
most of my adult life that marriage is... 
a sacred union of two souls. That it's between...
two people. Just two!

Is there a bigger insult to the institution?...

MELANCHOLY
    We hit it off on our blind date
    Eye candy you thought I was
   A bit of fluff I thought you were

Everything seems different now
yet nothing has really changed,
still the same familiar faces
but the format has been re-arranged.

Once I was your leading man
now just a substitute,
replaced by someone close to me
you once described as cute.

And you...

I hated playing left field.
Like, even on a hot summer afternoon
I’d feel a cold chill
when running across the field.
Not the kind you’d want to sit and enjoy
More of a graveyard eeriness.
It seemed that even the...

Living life
In a 
Vacuum, to gaze at the warnings
In front of you but
Not adhering to them
Going on dates and playing the field

Overlooking the signs, 
Never expecting it to happen to you

But you are not immune
Owning...
