Fell in love with the girl at the till
Queuing for food that's against my will
Order at first booth, I'm in for the ****
Not the 'whats your food baby', she doesnt fit the bill
Rolling up to the next to grab my fill
Acting cool, looking smart, I'm just pure chill
She looks me in the eye, I loose my practised drill
I ramble, I stutter, just noticing her name is Lil
Those words I blabbed, just came to nothing, think I lost this one nil
As I opened up the burger I'd just bought, stupidely ordering the dill

A smile can hide so much pain
Deceptive
Depressive
Conformist
As you can not see the weight on my shoulders
Praying everyday,
for this,
just to be over

Everyday I take a picture on my phone
Just random shots in multiple tones
All consumed and conjealing in my pocket at home
Never to be aired or plugged for print or download
Such a shame whilst my kids now grow
As they'll always be stay stuck on SIM,
never to be shown

That day you become old news
Just a piece of the puzzle
A chain in their queue
That love that now has no requirement
Just a kiss on the cheek
Time to pull Eros out of retirement
For this isn't how it's supposed to be
From mad young lovers
To playing golf on the 18th tee
Discussing our best retirement plan,
just who to leave our money too,
Once we've kicked the can...

Don't waste time
You're only here once!

Waking from my coma
A life now changed from one silly misnomer
***** bag attached to a catheter
And to now carry my daily output
It's what is known as a permanent stoma

Just when did this time come, when it seems so apparent
As we were never self taught, by our guardian or our parent
That at some point it may look a mess
And from what we now see online, it's a something to address
Even in shops, such as Superdrug and Boots
It's on the man shelf, to shave how it should suit
As now the wife is comparing, to what she has seen in ****
We have never been so careful, not even cutting the front lawn
And it's not a point I'd like to take up with my local barber
I think I'll keep it to myself, a secret I can easily harbour
As who's going to know if we keep a big old bush
I'll just keep it as it is, as I'm in no manscape rush

JJB
Is this my sanction
Is this my safe
Is this where I hide when my thoughts turn insane
Is this where I direct those crazy cackled cowels
Is this where I finally succumb and throw in the white towel
Is this my dark place where the world is cut off
Is this the place I end when I have finally had enough
