Even Deirdre

.Reading time 1 minute.
If I’ve got to forgive the world
It’s gotta include you
I don’t think you know
What you did, do you
Coz you sent a dart 
Right through my heart
Until God made my pain
Into some kind of art
And I’ve been holding a grudge
Since 2005
And it’s a wonder
I’m still alive
With all the splicing
My soul seems to do
And it seems the splinter 
Began with you
As you took an axe
To my great tree
Thinking you could fell
The very best of me
And I came crashing
To the forest floor 
Til I realized pine needles
Were something I could adore
Coz they’re born of my symmetry 
And they contain
All of the teardrops 
I drank in as rain
That nourished the flow
That pumped my veins 
With blood that heats
A thousand refrains
And colours them
The deepest hue
I’m red as a sunset sky
And I let it through
Like a shepherd’s delight
To signal the morning 
Will be alright
And the storming
Will give way 
To a fragrant calm
I close my eyes
And trust the alarm

Unparliamentary Language

.Reading time 1 minute.
I withdraw my accusation 
Since I’ve lived my realisation 
And see that the fault is not with you
It’s with the pain you put me through
As I resist and you agree
That everything troubled comes over the sea
In washes and waves at the Cliffs of Moher
And you swore you did not know her
Til I saw your hands interlocked 
On a screen in between where the birds had flocked
To get their share
Of bread and water, now I’m in your stare
As you love her more than you loved me
Why did I not let myself just see
As I hid on paper
And you promised them that you hate her
Well, that her is me
And I’m not gonna try to make you see
Infinity
Unless you already do
And I felt the ocean move
When you touched my hand
And met eyes that understand
To leave you free
I’m glad you picked her over me
