New poem

 Change Change 

 

 

 

She wanted change. 

She wanted to change. 

She wants to change what happened all those years ago. 

When he said to her, come and see me, let’s have lunch, 

she should have said no. 

 She wants to change. She wants to be the no person 

When he said have a smoke, she should have said no. 

When he said, you are so beautiful, she should have left. 

 She wants to change.

 She wants to change history. 

 When he said, I won’t say what you want me to say, 

she should have said, I don’t care, I still love you. 

She wants to change history. 

When he said, I can’t ruin your life, she should have said, it is already ruined. 

You already ruined it. 

When he said I won’t ever hurt you again, 

she should have said, you will, they always do, 

but I forgive you.

 He wants things to stay the same 

but he said I can’t hurt them. 

She wants him to change the way it was, the way it could have been. 

 I’ve been hurt too many times He said.

 She wants to change. 

She wants to change him. 

When he said, I’m leaving, I have a new job.I have to go. 

 What should she have said?

 When he said, things are different now, that was then, this is now. 

I’m different, I have changed. 

 

 How could she have changed His mind?

A poem about snow

 

 

 

 It’s cold in here 

Shiny, a new place bereft 

How do you fill the emptiness inside

 That never ending pit of desire 

Where did the spirit go 

Robbed 

Belief taken leaving

 A heart of snow

 I know it needs a bit of work and it is remarkably short. I'd like to write a poem about the day Victor first saw snow in Bloomsbury. First snow in Bloomsbury will be the title. When I have time...
