Dust and Dreams
Dust and Dreams
I felt so excited
to see you arrive
but now all you do
is sit and derive
Your beauty like a dream
in you I saw the divine
found my place in the scheme
of all things due to be mine
I feel so sad
to see you neglected
you great lump of wood
dusty and rejected
It is not your fault I say
the fault is all mine
how dare I bloody sit here
sit here and whine
You were to be my platform
where one day I’d find my voice
and now it all seems long gone
and it is I who made the choice.
