• Café Life is the Colony's main hangout, watering hole and meeting point.

    This is a place where you'll meet and make writing friends, and indulge in stratospherically-elevated wit or barometrically low humour.

    Some Colonists pop in religiously every day before or after work. Others we see here less regularly, but all are equally welcome. Two important grounds rules…

    • Don't give offence
    • Don't take offence

    We now allow political discussion, but strongly suggest it takes place in the Steam Room, which is a private sub-forum within Café Life. It’s only accessible to Full Members.

Poetry Asterix

The World Between the Words
You finally say it,
"I don't need you."
It's a cold, wet blanket...

That chills my bones right through.
The words hurt me,
And yet I always knew...

While together made "we",
It wasn't "us".
I could not ever be...

Worth all the naïve fuss.
Violently,
I'm thrown off the short bus...

Into reality.

I get it now.
You never needed me.

Love that rhyme scheme, too.
Thanks, Stace.

Here's a sober version...

*

At last you say it,
"I don't need you."
A cold, wet blanket...

Chills my bones right through.
The words tell me,
What I always knew...

That together "we",
Didn't make "us".
I could never be...

Worth your naïve fuss.
Violently,
Pushed off the short bus...

To reality.
It's cold and wet.

You didn't need me.

Now you say it,
"I don't need you."
A cold, wet blanket...

Chills my bones through.
Four words tell me,
The truth I knew...

Together "we",
Were never "us".
I could not be...

Worth all the fuss.
Violently,
Pushed off the bus...

To reality.
It's cold and wet.
You don't need me.
