Childhood Lost

These words are for that deplorable creep
Who shook my childhood right to the core
Who chased after me like a predator
Who inspired nightmares that made me weep

You made me terrified to hear your voice
You made me frightened of where shadows lurk
You told me to keep quiet - with a smirk
You took away from me my sense of choice

You still came even when I said never
This is for when I sat alone in tears
For the pain that still taints my adult years
And for my dreams left ruined forever

But now, all of those dreams will be remade
With the hefty cheque that the tabloids paid

Goddess

A soft touch that sends shivers down my spine
A cascade of the purest golden hair
A voice that speaks with a melody fine

A soul that doesn’t judge – why should she care?
A presence that makes me drop all my fears
A warm embrace she only wants to share

The chaos and confusion; her kiss clears
Words are spoken in whispers like a breeze
And whatever doubt I have disappears

Pretend Girlfriend

We meet up on a regular basis
We greet each other with smiles glowing
She likes to ask how my day is going
And never hesitates to plant a kiss
She knows what I like and talks about it
Her presence picks me up when I feel bad
She’s sympathetic when I’m feeling sad
And she finds much enjoyment in my wit
It’s for her I lower my defences
I see the real her; she sees the real me
I embrace her comfort, warmth and beauty
As her presence fulfils all my senses

But we’ve an understanding. Me and her
That what we have will never go further
