Try to love
anyone who needs it
who looks a little alone
and try love yourself
cause you can't see their goodness
until you see your own
Nathan Wells Sep 2014
Security guard sitting alone
bank holiday, the nights soon gone,
he sits & waits to hear the phone
but nobody, thinks, he's on his own

Son & daughter far away
growing up, while he's growing grey,
soon to decide which way to go
their love hidden, unable to show

The last few years haven't been sweet,
Raynham, Vancouver, Sidney St,
roots torn up, hearts torn out
no wonder the only answer
is a shout

One day soon, my little Rose may forgive,
and let her loved ones begin to live,
instead of living the American Dream
as the second Miss Watts,
she'll gleam or scream
I love this so much

wakes from his slumber
foggy eyed and rough
too much ***** last night
voice shallow and gruff
the medicine he's chosen
the hair of the dog
he walks to the off-license
the air still thick with fog
he sits alone
just him and a bottle
feels nothing as the *****
pours down his throttle
starting to feel it
laying on the couch half-cut
listening to the radio
as the ***** churns his gut
he wastes most the day
watching films and talking ****
doesn't go out
stays confined in his pit
spends his evening drifting
in and out of sleep
sometimes thinking about life
and sometimes starting to weep
he goes to bed unable to see
another day spent in a downward spiral
and he’ll repeat this tomorrow and the next
because it’s nothing but a cycle

— The End —
