Retire(la)ment
I now have time
To see all those
Little David’s
Lost on the streets
Of Liverpool, Germany
And many stations in-between
Lamenting a love gone wrong
Crying to himself
Too broken hearted
To pick up the phone
Hours upon days and years
Out of sorts
A rattle bag of fears

Communication
I’m not speaking to you today
But I get the feeling you’ve not noticed
I didn’t touch you in bed last night

And this morning there’s no change
You look at me and don’t realise
That I’m not speaking to you today
Why can’t you remember why?

Alone and confused
Feeling mentally abused
The twinkle in your eye
That lit up the sky
The smile across your lips
That warmed me to my finger tips
The look you gave to me
That set my heart free
