Condolences?

but the dog died many years ago 

now the kids are arguing 

it's raining and I'm tired - but no

no condolences are required 

when you come home my world seems better

for a second anyway

but those photographs are still in the shoe box under the stairs  - with your other stuff

you put that image into the media

and I was framed - no I'm not feeling OK 

the scars on my soul say I'm not

what did I do

I know I lied - what I told the nurse wasn't true

I don't trust myself

but we've got to keep each other

we must - so why's she back

it's as sad as a box of unsold teddy bears after valentines day

I don't know why you did it

it would drive anyone over the edge

did you do this for her - staged her disappearance 

the rented caravan - should I have  broken in?

There are sketches of naked women

and driftwood models

are those her

I mean - so you only had sex once

the biscuit tin is now empty 

and I'm starving - and now another offer's just come in

do you want to come over for supper

maybe catch the bad man in the act

you're not after my sister are you

you haven't even met her yet

do we need to be extra careful 

or should I just run.

Just ring me

I'd like you to pop over
