How do I write the polarity 
That is screaming every profanity
Through me onto the page
And there is a silent rage
That just quenches every candle that I light
And I throw another draft into the bin coz it’s shite
And it doesn’t describe the feeling
Of the reeling
When you lose someone
And that gun
Is still going off in my head
Because somewhere someone is dead
And it’s like I could hear the bang
Every time the phone rang
To break the news
And I’m wearing old shoes
That haven’t fit since I was eleven
And someone has just gone to heaven
And it’s a fine story but I’m not sure I believe it anymore
Because I”m still facing the red door
That you left behind and that perfume
Pervades every single room
I ever walk into
Everything merged with the scent of you
And I just cry into my pillow
Because as every weeping willow
Knows
When it shows
The cavalry will come to save
And I don’t want to face the brigade
I just want to be alone
And something cuts me to the bone
Every time someone says your name
And I think they play piano because it’s a game
And they think each note is a chord
But you can take me at my word
I won’t leave this season behind
Not until I’ve driven myself out of my mind
Trying to get back to a time before
The death of someone I adore
