He came home at 1 am
She welcome him and served him a warm meal
She then sat by him as he ate.
"Hush now, don't explain"
"You're here, that's what matters" said Mary in a trembling voice


He was cheating, she knew it
And he always tried to lie about it
She feared losing him
He had this vice-like hold on her
At the altar, She made a vow
Til death.
Now, she was barely alive inside

With a glint in my eye
And charming smile
I scheme
Tonight is the night
Am going to find a way to slip in
With her, a want to sleep
Little did I know, she's going to give me a slip
Right after she told me ... NICE TRY

Pulls you in, lets you down
On your face, a  frown ☹️
In sad feelings you drown
Left in tears 😢
Drained and miserable you seem
But you knew all to well
Your empty pockets, crippled you
With no financial muscle
Your love claims had no leg to stand on
Now trudge on, find a pond to swim in
Leave the wild seas to the Sharks 🦈

I wear a youngman clothes no more
It is Friday night and am tucked in at 10 pm
Quiet music please am reading a book
I have lost a few friends recently
No, dropped a few friends
I now enjoy a small circle, no fuss

Yes, my knees creak at times
I can't go long without a need to leak
The wear and tear is clear
Luckily, the mind is still clear
I dread when it will turn foggy
How time humbles

Promises are a comfort to a fool
Mama advised
And yet that's all the boy has
Promises ... Promises of forever together
Music to her young ears
Nothing else matters
In the end, Premium tears will be shed

I see them Politicians in their Lair
They plot and scheme
Tall tales they tell
Many have fallen under their spell
Because of them many well up
Soon they will lie in the Lair

What a ruse
A tall tale
Can't believe I fell for all the Spurious claims
I will live to tell
What made my eyes to well
What left me heart aching

You.. you bare the blame
Arsonist...
The bearer of the flame
With a frozen heart
