Where did you go
without a clue, a word?
What did I believe?
I can't believe my sense of humour
gets away with murder.
You make an aftertaste of bitterness
hit me in lips, awake, alone, wishing
you'd come leave desolate
and go fight someone else's war.
Shame, don't come near me.
Go away, mess,
my humour can't you hear me.
Go away.
I can't believe the humour
wearing thin
gets away with murder.
Can't you hear?
You make it go.
Won't you make it go?
I am the best thing you've never heard of.
I hold a Bachelor's in English, History and Secondary Education, and a Master's in English: Creative Writing, though my appearance belies intelligence.
My goal in life is to write and to be read. It's a modest stretch by most imaginations.
To most I'm amazing.
It all depends on your definition of literary merit.
