He sat on his backyard step every day,

smoking two cigarettes at once,

with a bottle of cider to hand.

He would hurl verbal abuse at

anyone who dared to pass by.

Sometimes he’d leap up and

dance around them, like the

devil possessed.

But he endeared himself to the

local folks who knew him to be

harmless.

Then one day he died.

And that back street

lost all it’s soul.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It was all about opportunity

It happened

It shouldn’t have

But it did

And they just had to live with it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

They lay together

and the world stood still.

Two hearts as one.

No better thrill

 

 

 

 

After the split came the re-uniting,

and for a time life was quite exciting

But then old cracks began to reappear,

suggesting the end was very near.

So they parted again but remained in touch,

and still cared for each other very much.

Their train of thought has long since

pulled out of the station, and crossed

the tracks entangled in their head.

Though their journey is still ongoing,

their destination is endless, and on

past memories fed.

Come and sit by me

You look so in need of a hug

If that chair is too uncomfortable

We could snuggle up on the rug.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Today I am reliable

You can be sure of my attention

I will shower you with kisses

and do things I dare not mention

 

Tomorrow, I can’t speak for

As there could be intervention.

Events out of my control,

causing irreversible tension.

 

 

 

 

 

I deserted you because

you were too soft.

You mothered me.

Smothered me.

Saw to my every need.

You should have been

more challenging, and

stood your ground.

Our relationship is dead

because you had ‘doormat’

stamped across your head.

 

 

 

 

Consider the safety net he offers you.

He’ll take good care of you.

He’s reliable.

He’ll be there when you fall, and

you may come to love him in time.

I know he’s not demonstrative, and

your heart doesn’t miss a beat.

But he’ll give you a life that is comfortable,

and get you back on your feet.

The foundations are solid.

The infrastructure is in place

The only flawed component

is the human race.
