SUMMER IS OVER AS THE DARKNESS RETURNS

 
August 14th and summer is already
Gone as i sit here with the heat from
Downstairs coming up through my
Badly insulated floor wearing a damn
Fleece and not 1 but 2 dirty t-shirts
With jeans on firmly and slippers
To keep my feet warm.  Outside the
Wind and rain come down hard and
I pity anyone either holidaying or
Sleeping rough on these damn streets
As their lives will grow harder with
The onset of this bad weather.

This week has frustrated and failed
At almost every turn.  A weekend
Lost when i wanted to be drinking
But somehow people intervened
Driving me back here to my room
To just carry on drinking alone as
I always should be rather than out
There feeling bored of my old
Familiar surroundings.  Then last
Night the horror of madness called
Down my landline but somehow i
Knew it was always going to be
Her and so I ignored its ring and she
Finally got the hint and hung up and
Then desperate to forget i rolled a
Strong one, smoked it and happily
Dazed went off to bed.
