We don’t talk you and me
And it’s striking
Really
How your words no longer
Light up my phone
The lover bubble we burst through
Now we go it alone
While couples walk in worlds I’m not part of
And I feign understanding
As they talk about love
And I look on my life all thin and uneven
With metaphors trying
When no one believes them
Redrafting a life with no object for feeling
Relaying the foundations of my self esteem and
Refusing to act out the same old scenes
Because I left all that in 2019

For Cherwell, maintaining editorial independence is vital. We are run entirely by and for students. To ensure independence, we receive no funding from the University and are reliant on obtaining other income, such as advertisements. Due to the current global situation, such sources are being limited significantly and we anticipate a tough time ahead – for us and fellow student journalists across the country.
So, if you can, please consider donating. We really appreciate any support you’re able to provide; it’ll all go towards helping with our running costs. Even if you can't support us monetarily, please consider sharing articles with friends, families, colleagues - it all helps!
Thank you!
