With Sympathy

Why kill flowers to symbolise death
and send them in a wreath?

Astronomy for Beginners

I wanted you to be my world
but you were only a passing meteorite

Singleton

I've lowered my expectations from idiot height
and still scare men off before the first date
Do I have desperate writ large on my forehead?
I'm so sadly aware I can't get a mate

Prey

I won't trust you or relax
But I'll smile and pretend
And this carapace of ice
Will fool you in the end
You'll think you'll have me won
But you can't own a soul
And when you try to find my heart
You'll find a bleeding hole

Eyetest

My taste in men is far worse than my eyesight

Are my rosetinted spectacles to blame?
