Across clinical benches with nothing to talk
Breathing tea and biscuits and the Serenity Prayer
While the bones of our child crumble like chalk
Oh where do we go now but nowhere
Tell me lies later,
come and see me,
I’ll be around for a while.
I am lonely but you can free me,
All in the way that you smile.
