From Pillar To Post Picked off and battered from pillar to post Wandering these streets like a forlorn

forgotten ghost Searching for solace or a fresh heart to be my host Someone to care for, to kiss and caress, Then lay them down gently and tell them I love them the most We mine for oil or more iron ore, just searching for gold But we bartered with the devil like mortal fools All I know is that fools gold turns into fools dust Cigarette smoke in the lungs thicker than the earths crust Just before the rain makes desperate shelters turn into rust Build me a mansion of steel for the apocalypse please As I beg silently not plead violently whilst on my knees These thickets are suffocating as im pulled up like weeds And daggling from heartstrings no one wants or needs With my hands clasped together and yours clasped round my neck I refuse to believe I dont need the exhale of cigarette smoke As my souls become a bargaining tool to be the punchline to my own joke We make weddings for divorces and build houses for bombs Just so we can divide our rubble and rebuild the love we build our lives upon So far so good cause Im so far from home Where your arms are not around me so instead Im alone Some life stories are pamphlets others are biblical tomes So can I know if those moments between us are set in stone In a world where women like you are roses but cant stand bouquets I suppose Im the thorns prick in your finger then I stick into your side I whittle away the hours in a day till Im back inside Myself for some more thoughts, memories, reflections Which tangle and curl all around one another but flow in only one direction Another image of you smiling in the sun, embodying perfection Too many times Ive loved you, hated you far too often, but too few to mention And maybe thatll be what catalyses your patchwork sympathy Straight to my door signed sealed and delivered special delivery And I must admit youve become dead to me in all ways but literally Life chokes down our throats so many questions to answer And were powerless that ridiculous notions like god or fate have our course to charter Theres an end to all life and an end to all love And theres no new beginnings bestowed from angels above Just sights and images of a relationships old ending So many letters I wrote to you that are just never worth sending Describing how through all the glue and bandages my heart still needs mending Cause words like yours cut and horrendously cripple inside Truths anything but humble will put some black into my skies So now I reside to have these tears in my eyes

Youre my exquisite corpse The game I play to get inspiration coursing through my veins Every second of the day just seems to convey how Ill love you always And my thin veneer is crystal clear when you look past my eyes into my soul Im sleeping roughly like my blankets are made of broken glass Nothing is comforting and theres no going forward when stuck in the past If theres lessons to learn in love then I must be top of the class And so when I see you in futures yet to come Ill stand idly by and utter a sigh whilst biting my tongue We wont say a word just know what was in our past And be resigned in our minds to let it all lay to rest But I know a flutter will mutter itself as it lies deep in my chest A murmur of love from times long ago yet too recent Where I wish I was still with you and things were half decent Instead of the silence more callous than violence in an exchange of eyes As I smoke a cigarette quickly and you walk with another man by your side Oh what Id give right now to be able to divide The space in between you and your conquests who sleep inside Your heart until you replace them like you easily did with me Ten years from now who can know where we each will be Gazing afar with looks of melancholy or bitter sympathy But I feel Ill reside with a soul open wide hoping someone else comes along To join the tapestry of one night stands or be among Those very few women who inspire emotion and words to a song Whispered on the wind, dancing upon the breeze Will I be able to talk to you or find my stance locked in a freeze Cause youre kissing a man simply on his cheek And Ill know your love for each other is strong where ours was weak And youve now got the family you always secretly seeked You sought out for adoration so sorted a family life where at its peak You hold hands by the bus station I use to frequent before And a new last name with a ring on your finger I didnt engrave Such thoughts occupy me and have from the cradle to the grave So carry on dreaming with new lovers by your side So carry on into the infinity where I dont hold your acquaintance So carry on forever but do me one final wish, one final favour, one last farewell Hope for me sincerely that I find my true love in the future as well.
