Painted Picture

I've got painted pictures That you just cannot see Locked inside my mind The painted picture a true Van Gogh That no-one will ever find I never asked for this Or the truth that I have seen Alone in dreams at night Inside myself I scream Please someone let me out 'Cos the bars have locked me in I cannot feel my soul I only feel my sin For these painted pictures haunting me For his eyes look down so deep In the silence of the night As the floorboards sound a creak I can no longer see his face Just a shadow in the night I no longer call his name But these pictures why I write

So J started coming round but after a bit he came egged up in a car trying to take his son. I said no and told him to fu** off. I rang his mams and told her to tell him not to come back 'cos I'll batter the prick. You see at this time I was just smoking loads of pot, trying to blank Mike out my head but the truth is I can still see his face like it was just yesterday. I stayed in all the time, I just sank deeper and deeper. I became lost and lonely like the child I once was. So the months drifted by and my son was born for the first time since Mike had passed away. I felt like I had something to live for, I was still smoking pot all the time but my son still made me smile.

My Baby Boy

A baby is born Into your world A boy he brings He's like a pearl Those tears of joy Run down my face The gods above Have blessed my place This child he brings With love and joy Nothing will compare With you my baby boy Time passed by and our lass got offered a house near to where her family lived, so she took it. I was down still and I never went out at all. I started writing poetry so that I could say what I felt. It seemed to do some good, it seemed to stop me bottling it all up inside. I smoked that much pot that I ended up in debt for it, the kid I got it off was sound, he used to come round for a brew and a chat. One day I saw him and he asked me if I wanted a bit of work. He said I'll come round and we'll have a chat about it.
