And so we let the games begin <br />Before the tears and the tides come in <br />I let her drive <br />She's good to go <br />Of our outings <br />Nobody needs to know <br /> <br />This morning I regret the day <br />I let the rain wash guilt away <br />But back for more, I run to her <br />Sparkling skin and expensive fur <br /> <br />I walk through town and meet with friends <br />I drink away the fear of ends <br />A break may rise only a false hope <br />I am walking down this slippery slope <br /> <br />Meanings come and then they fail <br />To wisp the breeze of loving sails <br />The breeze has stopped <br />We move no more <br />We're in our ocean <br />Our hearts are sore <br /> <br />Receive advice then turn away <br />The knot I tied has become fray <br />If only I could wash away <br />The dirty coat I wear today <br /> <br />I walk through town but friends are gone <br />I drink alone til half past one <br />My life needs not a wider scope <br />I tripped and slipped, this slippery slope!<br /><br />Mark Eyre<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/slippery-slope-2/
