Revelations Poem by Not Long Left

She would always say
Don't wish your life away;
As the sun pulls back
the curtains opening a new day
so begins this sorry play.

Bills and mood stabalising pills
Nicotine and unclean caffeine.
Deadlines and hard to read road signs
all consuming pressures;
occasional thirty second pleasures.

Frozen dinners eaten alone,
Late night drunken conversations
with the hum of the phone.
Pets as close as friendship gets
Excitement found in flower beds.

Nose hairs and ear hairs
that emerge not only in spring
And the washed- up- old -has- been look
that they bring.

And as hammers in hurricanes
swirl inside this fragile head
I weep like a child
thinking about the words she said.
