My hands smell like your hands
As I’m lying in the middle of the bed
All my plans look like loose strands
I squeeze tightly; they go limp I go red.
Oh I want my plans to smell like you
I really and quite truly do
I want your hands where are your hands
To hold on to
The dreams eat at my seams
Pulling threads in the middle of the dark
All the creams for my esteem
All the pills lining shiny boxes
Oh I want my plans to smell like you
I really and quite truly do
I want your hands where are your hands
To hold on to
My hands look like dead hands
Limply lying where you left
Taking exams to measure how this expands
Inside my head there is a mess;
inside my chest there’s been a theft
Oh I want my plans to smell like you
I really and quite truly do
I want your hands where are your hands
To hold onto
My throat sore to swallow,
Pulling at the pillows chewing every thread
My throat sore to swallow
Lying naked in the remnants of our bed

Wales

There’s no more words to read, even less to write
As I am sighing and crying every inch of the night
Clocks tutting pointed and glaring all day
As I compose a new email to someone turning away
I am skinning my knuckles, imagine touching your face
My words coming backwards, stuck in the same place
And now I’m just a stain on your sheets
And how you adjust just beggars belief
And now I’m just a stain on your sheets
And how you adjust just beggars belief
Oh I am trying to sleep
I am trying to keep away
Was it true when you said
Always your girlfriend
In Wales?
All the love songs I wrote have now turned blank
Stall with tears on my thighs when I am trying to.... read
Sick to my fingertips I scroll past your face
Sighing in piss-lifts for all the things gone to waste
Laying my emotions like eggs at your feet
A laconic smirk as you start to stampede
Embarrassing imbalances you are tired of my name
And now your eyes look like strangers although your face looks the same
I am skipping tablets like stones
To make me horribly ill
And I told you these things
And yet you kissed me, still
I am skipping tablets like stones
To make me horribly ill
And I told you these things
And yet you kissed me
Oh I am trying to sleep
I am trying to keep away
Was it true when you said
Always your girlfriend
In Wales?
What were the words I thought I heard you say?
What were the words that made you turn away?

I’ve been eating all my greens and then licking up the plate
I’ve been sporting certain injuries to make you hesitate
I’ve been running my wrists under taps
I’ve been texting all my feelings to anyone who’ll ring me back
I’ve been pocketing the pieces of torn notes found round my feet
I’ve been flipping through the menu, what’s the tastiest to eat?
I’ve been flipping through the menu, what’s the tastiest to eat?
I’ve been tipping under strip lights, just trying to relax
I’ve been asking all my mirrors but they always choose to crack
I’ve been loving leaving early every night
I’ve been singing, screaming lovely when I hear that you’re alright
I’ve been chalking round your outline when I catch you on the street
I’ve been flipping through the menu, what’s the tastiest to eat?
I’ve been forking through the menu, what’s the tastiest to eat?
I’ve been serving someone other, entertaining all the rest
I’ve been perusing all my bruises as they freckle on my chest
I’ve been swerving my attentions drift bereft
I’ve been turning up my nose to the suggestions that are left
I’ve been teasing your tongue, twist then shifting when we meet -
I’ve been flipping through the menu, what’s the tastiest to eat?
I’ve been flipping through the menu, what’s the tastiest to eat?
I’ve been flipping through the menu, what’s the tastiest to eat?
I’ve been frowning through the menu, what’s the tastiest to eat?
I’ve been forking through the menu, what’s the tastiest to eat?
I’ve been through the menu, what’s the tastiest to eat?
I’ve been through the menu, what’s the tastiest to eat?
