I currently detest
Well, I tell a lie.
I continually detest
meeting ‘Ship’ along my way.
Reminders.
Too close for comfort.
They are stomping, wailing, arrogance.
All looking exactly like her.
Miserable fucks.
Or is that me?
Back here. To where it all began.
To where I ran from.
Get out of my head!
You wee see you next Tuesday.
Run back to your Genevan whore.
Again.
Keep your friends close.
And…you know the rest.
He is, so very much is.
And then he isn’t. He so very much isn’t.
Cuddled, secured in his arms.
Nothing between us.
His eternal love.
He’d kill for me.
Kill me.
Would he die for me?
Dangerously, scary man.
On the occasion that’s rare.
Still comes through.
Surrounded by them
as I walk around town.
Need money, honey.
Need a job, Rob.
Swings and roundabouts.
This life of mine.
Work hard, earn.
Fuck off on hols- oot of here.
