Dear Disappointment, The thickness in the air as summer settles its weight in the night is a cloying, yet heady affair. It’s been a good week, a good month and I’m glad. We’re all getting older, growing up and moving on, still carry just a little bit of the hurt and of course we always [...]

Dear Disappointment, I just got old didn’t I? Started boring you and got in your way. I don’t even know how I know this, but I feel I do. I was an adventure for a while, something new to pass the time and add to your collection of experiences, some of us cast our eyes [...]

Dear Disappointment, She painted my face with a ladybird and I’ll admit I fell in love with her for about the half hour it took her to do it. She had very gentle hands, a soft voice, and she had a smile that made her entire face light up. There isn’t much light these days, [...]

Dear Disappointment, It’s late so I will keep this as short as I can, you see I’m getting better these days and as such I try to keep to the program, late nights don’t make for the better happier boy. You’ll forgive me, or perhaps you won’t, if I tell you that you’ve been flitting [...]

Dear Disappointment, Her name was Rose Foley, she was set at 50-1 at the 3.55 at Chepstow and I couldn’t resist putting a couple of quid on the old nag just for the brief excitement of a five minute race. There was nothing else to do you see, the village has a charity shop from [...]

Dear Disappointment, Battleship Grey, the afternoon was short-lived and all too quickly deepened to something resembling a dirty, graphite blue then finally a solid black punctured only by the brightness of the Christmas lights that have appeared on the streetlamps, and the ever present sodium glow of the city. I gave up on Christmas an [...]

Dear Disappointment, It’s been a few months now since I last wrote but you see there’s been so very little worth writing about and, though I’ve found ample amounts of time, I’ve been unable to summon the energy to put pen to paper and send you another letter that will simply find its way into [...]
Don’t look back you can never look back.

Dear Disappointment. I woke up this morning with a dull ache in my chest which has been there for the past two days, if anything it has got worse and has reached the extent that I am occasionally forced to clutch at my heart as though it were about to burst inside me and leave [...]
I never will forget those nights

Dear Disappointment, I’m back here again, rest assured I did the same: ran the risk, opened up and this boy went and got himself burned again. Tired my most gentle of let downs, tired of the whole business and this time it is not the world ending misery of the boy burning his hands on something [...]

Dear Disappointment, Was I like this to you? I don’t think I was, I think that I always knew you were free and that once you had decided that what we had should come to a close I walked away, well as I recall I drove away, and I left you to it. Was that [...]
