My good friend has been there from the start

We will never be apart

One by one my friends have gone

all around have now gone

Dark Thoughts

Woke up at 7am banging head, (not self inflected) sat up it still hurt, laid down, it hurt more, what to do.
Got up and took the dog for a long walk along a narrow busy road to the local park about a mile away, on the way to the park I saw this very large lorry thundering it's way towards us, I had a fleeting thought to walk out in font of it, but didn't, who would save my Jack Russell?
No thoughts of my children or the wife, dark thoughts entered until we reached the park, void o… Continue

This bench wasn't here

the grass needs cutting

I used to live there

sitting on the balcony

eating my breakfast

watching the world go by

I used to live there

I was single and free

I couldn't wait for my

kids to finish school

they visited me everyday

I used to live there

when I had hair.
