Whispering quietly in a hushed tone
I hear you say the words I long to hear
I want to draw you in closer
You make me feel so wonderful
But it was all a lie
I found out about that other woman
How could you lie to me?
You said all the things I always dreamed of
But you never meant a word
Keeping secrets from me
While all I did was love you
That's ok, I am better off without you
So leave me alone, I deserve better
You weren't man enough or me anyways
So you can keep all your other secrets
Because my life is better without all your lies

Spectating
I can't imagine dying like this, in a place like this; on a cold, dirty pavement with rush hour traffic screaming by and a crowd looking on while paramedics struggle to find space to move. Who could? Deep down we all think there should be a reason, a moment of clarity... or a family presence, at least. For this man, this boy, the rail thin woman lighting a cigarette in a faux fur jacket will have to do - she's been here since the start, her eyes tracking the movement of my shoulders as we fight to keep him on the right side of the line.
