I was standing on the pier, in the harbour <br />The waves were crashing down <br />I was drunk <br />Too close to the edge <br />I was crying <br />I was crying, all drunk <br /> <br />You walked past me there <br />You walked past <br />Like I've been wishing you would for so long <br />You stopped and said 'hi' <br />My heart stopped <br />I said 'hi' <br />I stopped crying <br />I stayed drunk <br />And said <br /> <br />'I wrote 11 poems for you <br />I wrote them in a hard-backed book <br />I drew a picture of you <br />I stuck it to the front <br />I wrote 11 poems for you... <br /> <br />Then I took all these pills <br />Then I swallowed <br />All these little white pills <br />Threw the book from the pier <br />I watched it disappear <br />And started crying <br />I wrote 11 poems for you...' <br /> <br />(2009)<br /><br />B..
