...and of despair.

Life is a laugh

with all the pouting selfies

with makeup and clothes

and a succession of lol’s

in the company of strangers

who you call friends

One day they’ll be gone away

or married or dead

That will be the first day

of your unbearable loneliness

nowhere to turn

no-one to turn to

the full measure of misery

will cloud out the possibility

of any true joy

your cup with not satisfy

you will be left with dregs

and forced to drink them daily

the dregs tribulation

of anguish

and of despair.
