I could have told you I loved you.
A million times a day.
Sleep walking through my life.
Like a doll all dressed up.
With a party in mind.
But nowhere to go.

I asked you how you see me.
You tell me that love has gone.
That it's for the best if I leave.
I tell you I have no place to go.
Must I start to hate you also.

The cold skies that grow between us.
Tears me up outside in.
I cannot find the answer.
You can't tell me why.
Only that it's over.

I wonder how to make it right.
I dont even know what is wrong.
I wont let it come to me.
I always knew the answer.
No matter how I fear it.

Friends tell me everything will be ok.
I only want me and you to be ok.
The rest can wait or go away.
I've begged God for help.
Knowing for certain he is with you.

Tango orange and pills on my table.
I digest and sleep in mid afternoon.
Woken by my voice of disappointment.
Always aware this was the outcome.
Twenty was never enough.

I rise and fall to my knees.
All in one moment.
Failure of a failed goal.
Only able to be the person I am.
Not the person I want to be

The last leaf on the tree.
Yes look up high,that's me.
All my friends have all blown down.
They are waiting for me on the ground.

I started in the summer a lovely green.
But there was thousands I couldn't be seen.
Now in autumn I'm a lovely golden brown.
It feels like I'm the only leaf around.

The wind and rain have tried there best.
But I'm not ready to join the rest.
Even Jack frost tried little me to freeze.
Yet I wont be brought to my knees.

Some lovely white snow fell at night.
Made me heavy and gave me a fright.
Someday soon I know I will fall.
That's nature's way of making a call.

So maybe tomorrow I will take a leap.
Join all my friends on the ground for asleep.
All through the winter we'll huddle and keep warm.
Waiting patiently and quietly for the spring to dawn.

On monday I was angry at the sun.
It was always in my eyes,no fun.
On tuesday I was angry at the rain.
Forgot the umbrella boy what a pain.
On wednesday I was angry at the wind.
Blew away the ******* that i had binned.
On thursday I was angry at the cold.
Hurting my bones now I'm getting old.
On friday I was angry at the ice.
Slipped on my ***,was not nice.
On saturday I was angry at the snow.
Stopped me from going where I was to go.
On sunday I was so angry I just stayed in.
Poor old weather it cannot win..

When I worked at McDonald's.
Dinner time was eat what you want.
When I worked at Burger King  
Dinner time was get stuck in.
When I worked at the KFC.
Dinner time was grab what you can.
When I worked at Pizza Hut.
Dinner was let's get tasting.
I worked in a brothel.
Dinner time was different.
A little bit sexist,just a little bit.

I saw you in the water,still but for your tail.
I was in the tree above,afraid to exhale.
I think you saw me and gave me a wink.
Me precariously on my branch afraid to even blink.

Now it was you who had me stationary and still.
I thought it was me who was moving in for the ****.
You gave your tail a quick flip as if to flee.
That was a move I believe to try and capture me.

Now for an hour we have played this game of chess.
How the hell did man and fish get into this mess.
After all this time of hidden here my body starts to ache.
But I'm afraid to make a move incase this bow does break.

So at last I cautiously move my position.
Here's hoping I've made the correct decision.
But now as I am nearly ready to concede.
I realise that what I thought was fish,is just a piece of ****.

Trapped in mortal danger .
Oh please God help.
Shocked by the slaughter of innocents.
I ask god,why.
The anger of confusion.
Please for gods sake.
The majesty of nature.
Praise to god.
Do you believe in god they ask.
God no I say.
This is about people who dont believe in god but use his name for praise or blame.
