Kippers On The Stove

The milk is almost empty

Couple of kippers on the stove

Kettle boiling

Don’t know which way to go

It’s seems it’s been like this forever

But it wasn’t always so

Bright lights shined once

Now they flicker and dimly glow

My phone barely rings

Just cold calls i don’t know

Match the coldness in my heart

I’m more than a little bitter now

I’ll get through the day but the darkness never ends

I’ll keep searching but will I ever mend

Is there really anyone who I can call my friend

The day outside is just beginning

And for a moment new hope comes in

But it’s always been fleeting

It’s as if I can not win
