Naylor's Lament/ Love's Byrne Poem by Kat 'Happy Girl' Happy

Love's Byrne

I am Joseph Byrne, a man split three ways,
My son, his mother and the girl I love
Her hair shines like the autumn sun- like a curtain from over her soft stone face
She has a heart of brittle fractured glass
That no-one ever gets to see- except me
Her walls come down again and I see the cracks
The cracks where I’ve smashed it one time too many
I can see in her eyes, she doesn’t want to hurt anymore- though she hurt me first
But it seems every choice I make is the wrong one for her and me
Too many times, I’ve pushed her away and too many times she’s pushed me back
I must have her back- I need to
She begs me not to do this to her again- so I silence her with my lips
Till she succumbs and I know how she feels
I love her, she loves me
She’s always there and she’s all I know that is real
But I know who I must choose

And tonight a heart will break.

Naylor's Lament

My heart is cold and broken
But not yet dead
Whilst he’s still here
It will keep beating
I’m a damaged case, just so unloved
The ones I love, I hurt the most
Bitter I show no remorse
I always get what I want- except him
Heartbroken, heartless
But my emotions will not run riot
I have no weakness- except him
I had him, I hurt him
He pushed me away
Married another and she’s here to stay
I am so angry, so full of love
He can’t do without me- he won’t
This is not just lust

I am Jac Naylor. And actually I’m in love…
