Neglect

The plant had died, there was nothing he could do about it or could he. Water is esential to a plant he had denied it by neglect, no more no less. It had been beautifull once, it ended in a heap of missery trying to hold on to life in vain.

He had thrown it in the bin and thought no more of it, 'till one night its tentacles choked him in his bed. In the last moments of his presence he was amazed how much he admired to draw breath when there was none.

Last Train

standin'in the road alone

 

I

 

see trains passin' by

 

I

 

don't know which one to take, don't know which way to go

 

Im

 

sad an' out of control

 

 

I

 

must make an effort, to pull myself together

there's

 

a

 

faint smell in the air, must be the turn of the weather

 

I'll

 

take

 

my

 

chances

whatever

 

 

 

I

 

lost too much of my life, it's shaken up startin' to slide

 

 

decisions

 are to be taken now

 

somethin' died in me today

 

I

 

must take it lyin' down

 

 

last train

 

is

 

at

 

the

 

station

 

 

I'll

 

take it got no explanation

 

it's

 

takin' me in to a future, I don't know much about

 

 

train's leavin'

 

I'm

 

checkin'

 

out
