Yes we aren’t picture perfect
And hours on end we quit
Yet our hearts beat in sync
Our dreams draw us knit
Wondering what others think
And if we meant this be
Scared by the messy mix
Verboten blowouts bring
Crazy with a love unreturned
And the dyslexic heartbreak
Of living green with frenzy
Helpless, and circumcised
Left to sit out in the cold
Musing of days gone by
The smiles, songs- the truth
Brighten my day you did
And walked out suddenly
Greeted cold by your shoulder
Wot not I wanted what
T’was me I loathed but
Didn’t ask you leave lost
Only scare you of sorts
Till a way found we thoughts
Mother hen I do beckon
Again some way back
With something to douse
This dyslexic heartbreak!
