Loss of a Husband

When I lost my husband
I lost myself completely
I Couldn't understand
That no longer would he greet me
I'm empty in my mind
Please someone help me find
A little peace and happiness
That I have left behind
My heart is badly broken
And I'm trying to understand
why god called for my husband
When we had a future planned
Why do i have to hurt so much
Why suffer all this pain
I know now that my husband's gone
I'll never be the same
I really need some answers
I really need to know
He can't just disappear
No He just can't go
Because I really love him
And i need him so
But yes he has left me
He has gone away
I've not been the same
Ever since that day
My heart feels hollow
My head feels sad
I never imagined 
I'd feel this bad
Please come back
I miss you so
I'm so confused 
Why you had to go
I've spoken that I'm broken
But no-one can hear
As I wipe away
Yet another tear
I wait all alone
Each day and each night
Waiting for someone
To make things alright
It's not going to happen
It's not meant to be
He only exists now
In my memory

Men

I haven't had a quiet life
In-fact it's been quite busy
When I think back to how it was
It sends me kinda dizzy

I have had a lot of men
Of which I can recall
I could name most of them
But could not name them all

Alan, Steve, Wayne and Mark
Jimmy, John, and Jack
Edward,Tony,Geoff and Lee
Have had me on my back

Colin, Gary, Paul and Neil
Ian, Chris and Scotty
I have had each one of them
Some ugly and quite grotty

Some were big, some were small
Some were long and fatter
But I didn't mind the shape or size
In-fact that didn't matter

Short or tall, young or old
Ginger, bald or hairy
I just want all the world to know
I ain't no Virgin Mary. X

Age Knocked On My Door

My head is in a real bad state
My memory is running late
I feel like I am going mad
My eyesight now is really bad
My teeth have now come to an end
Impossible to ever mend
My confidence has been destroyed
Through all the things I once enjoyed
My body is slowly packing up
I'm full of broken veins
My bones which now need oiling
Are filled with aches and pains
Gravity has got a grip
The lines are clearly showing
Moustash and beard have just appeared
Facial hair is growing
My hair is thin, my eyes are dim
My ears no longer hear
Its time to face reality
Old age is finally here
All I seem to do these days
Is eat and watch the telly
Which makes it easy to explain
This rather fat round belly
My body is slowly dying
Still I try to look my best
There is no harm in trying
As I face eternal rest
I used to be afraid of death
But now im not so sure
Its something ive accepted
Since age knocked on my door.

Where Are You

I lay in my back garden
I looked up to the sky
I was looking for my loved one's
With teardrops in my eye
I wonder where they've gone to
Or why they had to leave
Do they live on somewhere else
Oh what should I believe
I saw some faces in the moon
I don't know who they were
I couldn't clearly make them out
They were a little blur
When I die I want to know
Will we reunite
If I knew that would happen
Then I would go tonight
I really miss my loved one's
I feel so all alone
I wish that every one of them
Could make their way back home
The night was dark and peaceful
I hope they're resting well
Because as far as I'm concerned
The sky is where they dwell. X

Drugs and Alcohol

I'm an alcoholic, and it's driving me insane
I'm sick of waking up each day
And suffering the pain
Pins and needles, shakes and vomit
Are with me all the time
I keep trying very hard
To kick this habit of mine
I know i've done it once before
I gave the beer a miss
But had another substitute
And that was Bill Wizz
But then I tried to give up that
Then turned straight back to drink
And now I'm hooked on both of them
My brain can hardly think
Most people say they understand
But I don't think they do
It's an awful thing to go through
And I wouldn't wish it on you
Say NO to drink, and NO to drugs
You be the one who's wise
It took me quite a long time
To finally realize
That i'm an addict, I'm not proud
In fact I'm quite ashamed
So I'm not going to sign this poem
I don't wish to be named.

Medication

I wake up in the morning
I yawn and rub my eyes
I stretch my body slowly
As I begin to rise
Straight into the kitchen
I make a cup of tea
Then I sort my tablets out
And look what's on TV
I sit my body slowly
I light a cigarette
My body's aching badly
Soaking wet with sweat
Then my eyes start closing
Cause the Meds are kicking in
I want to stay awake today
But morphine's gonna win
Dinner time has come around
I have to go to bed
Cause I can't stay awake no more
I'm holding up my head
I won't wake up till teatime
When the day has gone
Then take more medication
Wishing I had none
I'll stay awake till 8ish
Then tablets once again
It's such a vicious circle
And it's driving me insane
So now I've missed a complete day
Lay flat out in my bed
With this routine I have to do
I might as well be dead.

Alcoholism

Today I sat all alone
Tired but wide awake
I was quietly crying to myself
Then felt a sudden shake
I wasn't sure if I was tired
Or just in need of drink
But suddenly it worried me
And made me stop and think
My body was crying out for help
I was ignorant I know
But these things we let happen
When we let our bodies go
We only have one chance in life
look after number one
Because your no use to anyone
When you my friend have gone.

Vascular Disease

Would you really like to know
About my pain that strives to grow
It comes on slowly, it makes me shake
This really awful, nasty, ache
I try to explain this horrible pain
That hurts so much, that I ache in the brain
I really am scared of this awful disease
I'm crying so much I hope no-one sees
Please someone help me I feel like a fool
I'm shaking and aching it really is cruel
I'm feeling so low because of this pain
This awful thing that I can't explain
I feel so helpless, alone and sad
I can't live with this pain
It's driving me mad
People don't listen,
they don't understand
That me and pain don't go hand in hand
My body is wriggled with this awful disease
Please someone help me
I'm begging you please

Chance

Life's a game of chances
I took my chance with you
I've never been so happy
I guess dreams do come true
You're my knight in shining Armour
You're as gentle as the breeze
I think I fell in love that day
I was numb from head to knees
Firstly there was no-one
I was dying deep inside
Suddenly from nowhere 
You're around me like the tide
You've changed my life dramatically
All my hurt has disappeared
Now I see much happiness
Instead of all I feared.

I wasn't sure if I was tired
or just in need of drink
but suddenly it worried me
and made me stop and think
my body was crying out for help
I was ignorant I know
but these things we let happen
when we let our bodies
we only have one chance in life
of which were all aware
so love your body tenderly
for it needs your loving care
