I Poured It Into An Endless Cup For You – Written Friday 24th February 2023 (Aged 47)

Bust

i was bust by my lust –
which was covered in rust
but i was never fussed
just awkwardly touched
needing was such a must
and i dream in a lack of trust
l loved you,
but you just loved being loved by me
it was never true –
as you sang over my backing track
you could never love me back
but you loved being loved by me
lost by notions of equality
i was bust by our lust
you were there –
when i woke up from my accident
and i remember where you stood
when we first met,
in that club that was art in name
people have never understood
but i have never forgotten
but it felt like it soon turned rotten
as we climbed rock bottom –
with a sense of eagerness –
that betrayed who we were
i loved you,
but you just loved being loved by me
i poured out my heart like an egg timer
i poured it into an endless cup for you
