For John and for those that dream - never let those dreams die, no matter what life is like at that point. <br /> <br />Standing still, body contracting, chatting <br />About Saturday's 'escapades' - funny <br />Isn't it? Hilarious that scar, fell <br />Out of a taxi, into that <br />Wet, blood-red, cliff-smell. <br /> <br />Time still ticks ever forward <br />Despite the bell bringing. <br />Take out my phone, glance; <br />Four hours, twenty minutes <br />Until my ending. <br /> <br />I realise that I'm being too congruent <br />And I realise that I shouldn't <br />Be pedantic, melancholy, sad. <br />Yet this maze brings home the sadness <br />Of my home, I've changed it now <br />More sad, a heartfelt tone. <br /> <br />Let's perk it up a bit! <br />It's nearly christmas now, <br />'Good will', 'Giving' and 'Jesus' <br />All our friends and relatives - <br />Do they really want to please us? <br /> <br />And, did that sound sincere? <br />I hope not really because <br />For me, it didn't, it couldn't. <br />Three days left in this hell-house. <br /> <br />If only Jesus could help - <br />That invisible man all around - <br />You've tested me time and time again Lord <br />But forever you're only going to make me bored.<br /><br />C.D.
