Life was good

I had it all

Two point five

And ´er indoors

 

Worked

A good job

Lanzarote

Once a year

 

Nice front door

With shiny knobs

Watertight

And electric lights

 

Firm went bust

Rot set in

Found solace

In my all day

Drinking

 

Felt like a failure

Couldn’t face her

Walls closing in

Crushing

What was left

Of love

 

Floor shook

Then began to

Crack

Became a chasm

Between

Us

 

Chasm

Swallowed

E V e r Y tHINg

Us

The kids

Then the roof

Fell in

 

Mental state

Not

GrEat

Nothing

Left

 

Dole

Said

No

 

People

Walk

Past

Me

Over me

 

I see the look

The quick shift

Of their eyes

Mental note:

DRUGGIE!

 

Get a job

Easier said

Than

Done

 

Not bathed

For months

Hair matted

Mind gone

 

I thought I had

It all

I did!

I had everything

I ever wanted

 

Fought hard

To keep it

But life

Did me in

Now I am

Just one

Of

The

A
