SINCE YOU LEFT ME I THINK OF YOU A LOT

When I freeze my pre-cooked meals

I often think of you

Squeezed into a chest freezer

And turning very blue.

 

When I burn the garden waste

I often think of you

Sat upon a bonfire

Until you're cooked right through.

 

When I dunk my biscuits

I often think of you

And hold them underwater

Until they're out of view!

 

When I bury my autumn bulbs

I often think of you

Under the cold brown earth in a mound

Totally covered too.

 

When I hang my washing

I often think of you

Dangling on a scaffold

And wish that it was true.
