Once Bitten: Shadorma
ONCE BITTEN
Some woman
Turns and smiles at him
Ignores her
Turns his back
Waits to walk on till she’s gone
“Nowt but trouble there.”
Bitterness
BITTERNESS
In German bitte
Is respectful and means please
But English sticks on
An r and adds emotion
And not a comforting one
Coasters
COASTERS
We should get out more
Or so our friends advise us
But people out there
Can be so disappointing
So we coast the internet
Pick On Someone Your Own Size (Repost)
PICK ON SOMEONE YOUR OWN SIZE
One day you will look back on this and laugh
Isn’t that what they say?
Except right now they just seem like fatuous bastards
And I’m not ready to “learn from the experience”
Or “pull myself together”
Or “look on the bright side”
Or “be glad you learned the truth before it was too late”
Before it was too late???
It was too late from the moment I met you
Looked up and saw you walk into the room
In fact I looked up and looked toward the door
Even before you walked through it
That little trick you have
Where you stop time
Whatever made me do that?
As if I knew, as if destiny
Was as real as it seemed when you and I were we
But I look where it’s led now and have to wonder
How whoever arranges for destiny
Can really find me important enough to hate this much
Falling In (Or For) Love
FALLING IN (OR FOR ) LOVE
Let me fix your life
A wave of my magic wand
A fairy story
There ‘E Goes (The One Note Samba) – (Republished)

THERE ‘E GOES (THE ONE NOTE SAMBA)
There are eight notes in the octave
(One of them recycles its name)
But then there are always those
Who only recognise one note
Repetitive and relentless
Me Me Me Me Me

Frequently, my initial reaction to this type of person is one of revulsion. but then I sometimes pause for reflection and begin wondering what sort of pain, fear and insecurity this behaviour is concealing.
