An Ode to Heartache

 
A snore like a sob, a cough, a yawn
I open my eyes to drizzling dawn
And I think of you
 
Cheerless cold breakfast, a shave, brush teeth
Look out the window, but find no relief
And I think of you
 
Pull on creased trousers, a shirt, tie lace
Mirror reflecting an unhappy face
And I think of you
 
Trudge down staircase, open door, depart
Wind moans a dirge like the pain in my heart
And I think of you
 
Back at the coal face, clock in, fake smile
Can’t stop these sad thoughts for even a while
And I think of you
 
Reach my bed late, no sleep, mind spins
Neither peace nor rest for all of my sins
And I think of you
 
A snore like a sob, a cough, a yawn
I open my eyes to drizzling dawn…
