Thank You
2 simple words that we always undervalue
Say it I'm sure it won't hurt
Say it I'm sure it won't sound absurd

We are quick to launch into a tirade
At anything that makes us irate
But we are slow to show our gratitude
To anyone with honest correctitude

So please don't be shy to grace the soul
Of the one who's just wants to help is his only goal
With 2 simple words of value
Which are Thank You

I searched high and low for you
But you were still nowhere to be found
Should have taken better care, of that I can't argue
Tears streaming down falling to the ground

Now I sit here alone reminiscing
All the times we had both good and bad
The phone snaps me out of my misery with a ring
"Oi. I found your Kindle! Search properly next time you blind bat!

We creep through the forest carefully so as not to make a sound
The beast lifts it's enormous scaled head, looks left and right and goes back to its slumber
To his death are our fates bound
Confident that we'll slay him with a superior number

The thief flanks the beast to the right
The chevalier to the left
Together with 2 masters of elements we will eradicate this blight
With our weapons poised and ready to strike this beast we will best

The fight is long and gruelling with advantages going both ways
With horror I see my companions succumb to their fate
My friends sacrifices shall not go to waste
Only the beast's death will my wrath be slaked

Finally I see the beast flagging as I cast spell after spell
When suddenly I realized that my body has lost its power of motion
With a great big roar, a fatal blow I was dealt
Flaws in my abilities has the beast proven

I look at my hands and watch in horror as the lack of light signifies death
"Aargh" I screamed and the wife runs in looking at me with concern
"My controller's battery has died" I cry in distress
"And I forgot to save my game for the past 2 hours! There goes my progress totally burnt! "

Swallow us all they seem to say to me
It will be quick and painless they promise
Go to sleep and let us be
And all your worries will cease

Sharp and bright, it beckoned to me
I'll use it to slash across my wrist
A messy end it'll be won't you agree
But at least my troubles will fade to mist

The ground calls out to me as my feet dangles over the parapet
And fly I will like a dove
At least over my sorrows will I no longer have to fret
All I need to do is just push and shove

I wake from my dream with a shudder
Do I really want my life to end
Now let me try to face this glorious new day without my usual blubber
0h man, I really need to stop listening to "Suicidal Dreams" from that band!

Tears blurring my vision
But I see the pieces of my broken heart with great clarity
A heart that was filled with such beautiful and sorrowful memories of her
A heart that was broken by poisoned words, betrayal, deceit

I wipe my tears and looked to the side
The side where a broken beer bottle lay in jagged, sharp pieces
A bottle that I smashed while trying to replace the hurt with anger
A bottle that I smashed when trying to drown my sorrow

Light glints off a sharp edge of a broken piece
A broken piece that looked very inviting
A broken piece that promised escape

I picked up the piece
Brought it to my wrist
And again with tears blurring my vision
I began to drag it across watching the blood welling up
As the tears blurs my vision

Who do you think you are?
You, the one with the prettiest of faces but the ugliest of hearts.

Who do you think you are?
You, the one with the brightest of eyes but the dullest of mind.

Who do you think you are?
You, the one with the quickest of tongue but the slowest of wit.

Who do you think you are?
You, the one fastest to judge but not acknowledge your own flaws

Who do you think you are?
You, the one with the smallest of knives but the biggest of smiles.

Who do you think you are?
You, the one with the twist of your knife at the back even as you're hugging.

Who do you think you are?
Nobody. That's who.
