 A hit and run sucide (the story of a mans loss)
Around the corner in the Inn
Amongst the noise of chattering
The man on the stool lay
Black hair with shades of grey
Clutching his pint with a firm grip
His lips savouring every sip
Todays newspaper on the bar
Eyes ablaze, gaze afar
Gracefully the beer goes
He gets up and walks past the rows
Of couples and lads and girls
With bright lipstick and ponytails
Out the door and on the street
Boots he wears upon his feet
Thunder clouds sprinkle rain
Life always seems the same

Around the table in the inn
Amongst the nonsense gossiping
The young lad checks his text
‘Sorry Shaun, it's over Bex'
Grasping his pint he downs it fast
And then another, as though it's his last
Todays paper and the free magazine
Get thrown against the fruit machine
His friends voices seem all blurred
Unaware of what's occurred
He gets up to leave without a word
Past the ponytailed bright lipstick bird
On the street a man walks by
Both have a tear in their eye

The man paid no attention to the angry hot blooded youth
Who stumbled into his car with a sunroof
He just walked on a few yards up the street to his home
Another night down the local on his own
It was the anniversary of his wife
He was lost without her in his life
The drink and the pub didn't stop him missing her
He thought of his son, who lived in Australia
Lost in thought, loss is life, loss in everything
‘Almost home' he thought, walking across the zebra crossing
The car with the sunroof hit him hard, the fall even harder
The alcohol mixed with anger made the youth go even faster
Loss of a girlfriend hit loss of wife, full on impact, both cried
The crimson blood mixed with black greying hair, until he died
A hit and run suicide.
