I don' need love!
What is it anyway?
Just a word, or at best,
a state o' mind.
'I will love you forever.'
I 'ear them say; ha!
Bullshit!
How can ya;
ya won't live f'rever,
and love ain't much good
to ya, when yer dead, is it?
'He was a lovely man,
I still love him, you know.'
e's fucking dead; idiot!
All ya lovin', is a mem'ry;
no good mopin' round
with fuckin' mem'ries, is it?
Look a' me; I loved 'er didn' I?
Where did that leave me, hey?
On me fuckin own, tha's where!
She's gone now!
I'm stuck 'ere like a fuckin
fish out o' water;
gulping at nuffin but air.
I sit in front o the TV
arguing wiv meself.
Tha's what love done fer me!
Fuck love!
Fuck it!
Oh Gawd...oh Gawd...oh Gawd.......

'fish out o' water;
gulping at nuffin but air.'
A very clever poem and it suits the IP very well in my opinion. Love the lines I quoted.
The narrator of this poem is really quite a character. It's weird how despite his incredibly sad state of mind, he sort of makes me laugh, because he sounds a bit like the grumpy smurf ;-p
Enjoyed. Well done.
Nathan.
