Limbo

Limbo 
Hunched over and holding a Zimmer frame 
Limbo
Waiting for a call that is never - ever going to come 
Limbo 
The day draws nearer as the blinds on the window begin to shut sealed 
Limbo 
That's what they call it, hanging on every single word and action 
Limbo 
Bend over backwards. Don't bother in even trying. You're bent over now. 
Limbo 
Pull that duvet and run a bath and play some music 
Limbo 
Don't listen, just watch. Watch my lips move up and down in slow motion to the rhythm of this beat 
Limbo 
Don't bother in even trying. It is all done now. It has already gone by and it is told and told to whoever passes you by 
Limbo
