Reasons I'm Leaving
Sometimes leaving is the only honest thing left to do.
I hadn’t even asked,
but your lie was at the ready.
With your guilty-looking expression
and your palms all hot and sweaty.
Between your backstreet dodgy dealings
and the trollop you had on the side,
What else in this relationship
did you lie about and hide?
Why do you deem it necessary
to cheat your way through life?
Thank God I’m giving the ring back,
and won’t become your wife.
You told me daily how much you loved me,
how much I meant and more.
But it was all a load of bollocks.
What the fuck did you lie for?
Some endings need to be said out loud.
Perhaps you'll find something in these, too.
Things That Stay
For the memories of a love that wasn't quite what you thought it was.
Heartache
For the ache that remains when the truth finally breaks through.
The Power Lies in Your Hands.
For remembering that you still have the power to choose what happens next.
