Claire Jones Poems

Do you think you can handle it?
Think I'll be tamed.

You try desperately to keep up
...

Its not healthy
Being too close to someone.
You'll regret it
You get lazy
...

I don't want lies or bullshit
Don't need fairytales and fantasies
Just tell me something real.
...

Why should I care what state we're in?
Why should I care if the world doesn't spin?
Why should I care when theres no food to eat?
Why should I care we kill for more than meat?
...

You promised you'd change
Wouldn't hit me anymore
You'd cut out the drinking
You promised me more.
...

Don't ask me why I loved you
Don't look at me like I've changed
You made me this way
Killing me with your love.
...

Don't presume you know me
Because you know my name
You have no idea what drives me
You think I am insane.
...

I'm ok
I'm happy
Things are going well
At least I'm healthy
...

How are you baby?
I'm fine how are you?
Some of your last words.
...

When your lonely
I'll be there for you.
If you need to cry
You can use my shoulder
...
