Lie down with me
Let the sun break in
And the sound of the traffic outside
Knock on the window
Calling us to the city
We’ll stay beneath the sheets
Never has a smile made a girl quite so pretty
Bleary eyed you study my face
Morning passes at a languorous pace
Lie down with me

What you’ve done
Left in the dark pinned down by a dagger
I walk through London alone with a drunken stagger
Cradling the cavern where it once belonged
The streets filled with our old songs
Cold night’s air stabs deeper than skin
Like I’ve been taught I must keep everything in
Pains only escape in tears splashing on my torn dress
Only worsened by the thought of you leaving this mess
Against the void, my...
First love
The grey plume of smoke shrouds your face Come back to bed dear We’ll say goodnight in our way You’re further away than you’ve wandered before My anchored words can’t chase after you like the past Hold my hand this time I won’t let go This emptiness can’t last forever We’ll sit on the hillside hidden in thick grass Tell me your dreams while I sing our melody To the orchestra of cries and cheers...

When I am gone
When I am gone do not mourn a memory

I am in the wind; I dance in the breaking sunlight
Do not use my name as a reason to be trapped in sadness
I am not sad; I am free
Use my name in death as in life
I will...

England
She will give you the world if you pay her the fee
Once she’s tasted your money she won’t leave you be
She will hold you in awe in her delicate hand
With her other palm she will crush you to sand
Take your identity and masquerade it as hers
Write your life to her tune in a twisted verse
She will laugh with you, flirt with you, set you alight
While the people who love her wither and die
She will...

Seasonal Me.
Swept up in the familiarity of a love I once knew a year since our last meet, a welcoming return In your absence inspiration was lost too The year brought with it an unfortunate journey You take me back to the world left behind But without you knowledge left me to learning Everything you taught me to see Had been hidden behind lie laden smoke My safe home had turned to a house...
