There was a period of time

After he died

When I returned to my old ways

Auditioning random men

As a replacement

All in a drunken haze

Thankfully

It didn’t last

And it proved to be just a phase

As I realised

Pretty quickly

It didn’t help with my malaise

On A Promise

What happens when the music stops

She said

Do we have to go home?

Wherever you end up going

He said

You won’t be going alone
