I know this place from time of old
Dark, scary and very cold
To be left alone to stand and stare
Out of the shadows of despair
To be left to feel so tired and stranded
The doubt of a liar branded ?
With no-one there to understand
Who's with me to hold my hand ?
Left to cry myself asleep
I alone will secrets keep
For I must learn how to cope
From this dark place with little hope
Heavy baggage forever to be carrying
Will it prevent me from marrying ?
Can I ever again feel whole ?
At least this has to be my goal
All I long for is a hug and a cuddle
But that's what started this awful muddle
I tell you one thing that's a definite must
A dependable man to love and trust
One that's patient and tolerant of baggage
To sweep me off in a golden carriag
To a new life, uninhibited and free
But most of all to love me for me
But that sort of thing only happens in books
And besides, I know I don't have the looks
Someone please strike a match or a light
Just so I know an end is in sight
I know I won't feel like this forever
I would like to think I'm just that little bit clever
But please will someone share my path ?
To chat to drink and have a laugh
To say everything will be all right
To share my load and make it light
Now it's time for this to end
Guess what I need is a very close friend.
