Closing Down Sale – 15th November 2001

~ shaun tenzenmen ~ Leave a comment

Put up the signs
Bargains to be had
Body closing down
Mind going bad

Take everything I have
It means nothing
Take it away
And make it something

Nostalgia always hurts
Time’s so far away
Every new day doesn’t count
It’s just another day

Stepping closer to the end
Maybe it’s today
Close my eyes
And never wake again

18th Oct 2024 – I’m guessing I was frustrated at Lorraine’s indecision and occasional rejection around this time.

Should I Stay Away? – 5th November 2001

Such a fragile thing
Why do I want to break you?
Touch your delicate face
Afraid you’ll crumble to dust

I want to feel your warm breath
In night-time clenches
But afraid I’ll throw you away
When you become too familiar

Maybe I should stay away
But I feel a need to be saved
A continual desire for a companion
An ever-decreasing circle of self-fulfilling prophecy

18th Oct 2024 – Questioning myself about my pursuit of Lorraine as I was conscious of the deep love that I had felt for, firstly, Bronwyn and then for TLJ and what drama I had caused them. I had not been without a girlfriend for about ten years and TLJ noticed this as a weakness (particularly relevant to her, as I had transitioned my relationship from Bronwyn to her without a break). Although TLJ and I had broken up by this point I had been meeting Lorraine (outside of work) and we were figuring things out between us.
