"Lifeboat" & "These Empty Streets"

[civilservant]

Lifeboat

 

Faces,

Pushed into the rain,

Broken,

Full of empty shame,

 

Waiting,

For a person to complete,

Alone,

Walking on this street,

 

Confidence,

An empty shell of a man,

Battered,

Hit as often as she can,

 

Deserving,

Of this beat down he sees,

Thinking,

Please take me on the breeze,

 

Suffering,

From this lack of life,

Desperate,

To away from the strife,

 

Hungry,

To stop these bleeds,

Obviously,

A new life he needs,

 

Searching,

For a light to climb upon, A,

Lifeboat,

From this thing he did wrong.

These Empty Streets

 

People say appreciate little things,

Learn again to be single,

Get to know new people and love,

Take time to go and mingle,

 

But people seem a shade of grey,

As does all of my life,

I can't imagine anyone else,

Being my partner or my wife,

 

The sky seems somehow duller,

A misty reflection of murk,

The lonely, broken and ruined soul,

I walk alone and lurk,

 

The wind blows through these empty streets,

And chills my bones to the core,

It's at this point I need to see the future,

To know whats really in store,

 

So I hope for the soon return of the colour,

And the reason for keeping my life,

Because it's not about you and me in the end,

I don't really need a wife.
