Hotel Room

Clean and tidy,
Floor is free of dust,
Mirror is smudge free,
On-suite bathroom full of musk,
As I spray on my deodorant,
Still not as happy as I should be.

Door is closed and locked,
Do not disturb, is all ripped up,
It’s my only guarantee that I’ll wake up,
The remote is all my own,
The TV lays dormant waiting for me to pay,

Freshly laundered sheets, a-crisp on the bed
Three additional pillows completely over the top,
I'm missing my bedroom chocolate,
Evening curtains have not been closed
What sort of person puts up with this?

Still I’m on my own in my double bed
No-one to answer to, can do what I said,
Even connect to the internet…
Write another letter, keep on working
Nah, turn on the telly, still not worth watching

Back to my love, tapping at keys
Mobile Reception never very clear.
Ears always burning, they must be talking,
Modern life today, brings no joy
Disjointed families and parenting by proxy.

Sleep never easy, unless fuelled by alcohol,
Or try listen to that Ipod with my favourite idol,
Still no good, breathe deep and think of her
Have sweet dreams and see her free
In my arms dancing and laughing…..

Brrrinnnng!!!! Brrrrinnng!!!
Alarm again! Snooze just another 5 minutes
Let me get back to her again,
You stole my dream, cut it out…..
Suppose, I should get up and get out...
