Teller of Tales

Observer

[tellertales]

Lullaby

I used to hate when

I heard snoring, but when it’s

You, it’s not that bad.

[tellertales]

Out of Place

I always feel lost

Like I’m a time traveller

Who has just woke up.

[tellertales]

I Burnt Your Birthday Cake

I try to do things

For other people, but they

Never quite work out.

[tellertales]

Don’t Speak

I can’t think of what

To say sometimes so I keep

Quiet and go hide.

[tellertales]

That Funny Feeling

I have never been

Loved so how can I miss it?

Yet my heart still aches.

[tellertales]

By Funny I Mean Not Funny At All

It’s funny how in

Twenty years, the things I was

Bullied for are cool.

[tellertales]

Heartbreak

You left our bed to

Find yourself something greater.

You are a traitor.

[tellertales]

Hairdressers

I got my fringe cut

Back in because it makes it

Easier to hide.

[tellertales]

Valentine

Stroke my inner thigh,

With your eyes locked onto mine,

And tell me I’m yours.

[tellertales]

Apocalypse

People wanted the

World to end as though they thought

They could be heroes.

[tellertales]

Closed Doors

How do you find your

Place in the world when you have

Never been welcome?

[tellertales]

Hiding in Plain Sight

You’ve never met me.

I stuff the person I am

Back down deep inside.

[tellertales]

White Hats

As a child, I thought

It would be easy to find

Who the good guys are.

[tellertales]

Bitter

Now that you are gone,

Even when it’s not meant to,

It’s all about you.

[tellertales]

Insatiable

The chocolate melts in

My mouth. No matter how much

I eat, I want more.

[tellertales]

Fox Red

My baby glows red

In the light of the hot sun.

My rare little gem.

[tellertales]

Saved

The exorcism

Successfully cast you out.

Banished from Heaven.
