The Naked Angry Man

 

Who will love the

Naked angry man

Sadly watching

Two more lovers kiss

“Puppy loving”

“What a waste of time”

“If I wanted

Sure, could make her mine”

 

An old man

Breathing last breaths

Thinking of

The whole of his life

Desperately singing loudly

Singing the

Words of a love song

 

Here among us

Many broken men

Flew for moments

(‘fore) falling badly

I’m thinking

Seen things in my time

Never the wounded

saying “I feel alive”

 

Oh what a feeling love is

To sing or hold it baby

Can’t get too drawn in by it

Still feel the pain of a love gone bad

 

Caught my lover

With another man

Saw her naked

But I was the better man

“Come on honey

I do recognise”

Clock was ticking

Bye and bye and bye”

 

But do remember

When you have been used up by him

Next heartbreak

Next autumn

Who will come to ease your pain

And come to pick you up?
