The Simple Things

I'd love to wake up every day
and lose my breath
just straight away,
get lost in eyes without a care,
and laugh when you play with my hair.
I'd love to hold you forever tight
and protect you
from pain and plight,
learn off by heart your every sigh
and love you til the day you die.
I'd love to bury you with love
and know that I'm
what you think of.
To love and lose would be a sin
so open up and let me in.

Room To Let

Room To Let

Shane Joseph Telford

I'm vacant and empty
and space I've got plenty,
stripped down and I'm bare,
the feelings aren't there -
they moved out when you did,
how bitter we feuded
over nothing worth thinking
foundations are sinking,
guess that's why I'm drinking.
Oh what was I thinking?
Now everything's a regret,
now I've got room to let.

Oh, so this is what I do when I can't sleep. Get depressed and think of N.

Connection's Lost

Shane Joseph Telford

I'm sure you topped up this week,
you've sent a text or two
but when I need a shoulder
there's just no sign of you

I try to call
but there's no use,
you'll just hang up
or shout abuse.
I'll tell myself your battery's dead
and pray to God it's not you instead.

I'd love to talk
at any cost
but what's the point?
