the beginning
nights and nights
hours and hours
l waste away
l dream away
to curb the sting
of this age old curse
that runs so clean
through mind through body
through past and present
l spend endless days
wasting away
on a sofa that
l call home
still wishing between
oceans
still coming up alone
my feet still ache
my head stays sore
l wait l wait l wait
no shelter
just time to waste
and nothing to say
tick tick tick tock...
