WhatWhyHow???

This year, I set myself the foolish task of trying to write something every day, and what you see here is the result. None of this is finished, polished, or in any way good. It's usually a few lines at the end of the day when I'm tired, my head's broken, and this nonsense spills out of it onto the page. Feel free to comment away, and if you think anything has any potential then let me know and I might have a go at working on it further.

But hang on, where's the first month? You've ripped us off! I hear you say... Well, yes. I have been writing since the beginning of January, but it's taken me a while to get the blog up, so everything here is a month old.

The long shot failed

I sit under a fading light
A flickering flame of memory
And regret with head in hand
My wasted plans
Desire to fight
I should have known that you were right

I gambled on a shooting star
A long leap from too great a height
I count my losses all to none
What's done is done
Sunk in a bar
I pushed you far too far

There's nothing now here left for me
These wounds will never scar
There's no worth in what I write
You're gone from sight
I cannot see
There's any reason left to be
