last night

a clichéd mistake

you asleep

me awake

the same old song

guiltless blame

wrapped in sheets

of sweat and shame

Pit head silhouette

 

 

 

 

 

 

Iconic charming history,

repeats the sad refrain,

as, once more, we get screwed over,

we sing along again;

the blues echo a doleful tune,

and strike the same discord,

man mines the depths of misery,

bank on, fools, gold reward!

We steel ourselves with loyalty,

patriotic to the ends,

whilst red skies scream solemnity,

we bend our plastic friends.

Ironic charnel history,

repeats the shame, refrain,

prepare to get screwed over,

as we sing along in vain.

sad puppy [598]

 

 

 

 

Wear the heavy,

coat of shame,

as blame creeps in,

and calls your name.

 

Feel your face,

hot like the sun,

embarrassment burns,

humiliation!

 

Worldly winds,

are at their play,

pain, blame and shame,

bring infamy.

Oh Dear!

Oh dear!

What have I done?

How did this happen?

I’ve come undone!

 

I should’ve known

that this would be,

and that it would

go wrong for me.

 

What should be fun,

and cause no harm,

has gone quite wrong,

and caused alarm.

 

I’m so ashamed,

that it would be,

so obvious,

for all to see.

 

Now my mistake,

whilst unintended,

was caused by vanity,

and can’t be mended.

 

I’ve learned my lesson

and felt such pain.

I’ve rued the day,

and burned with shame!
