Mark G. Pennington
Woman (written in a prison cell)
I know that the truth is always hard to bear,
I see the humour but I'm shy in my laugh,
There are tears loud as echoes
And I don't ever pretend to understand
How you act when I apologise inebriated.
I swear not one more cigarette touches my lips,
I've felt that way too much because of you.
