Heartache in the morning
Rat -a tat -tat
Heartache in the evening
Slap slap slap
No through roads
She turns back
A lover’s rebuff
She falls flat
Heartache in the morning
Rat- a -tat-tat
Monthlies here again
Blue down manic black
Toilet seat tears
Screaming at the cat
Heartache in the morning
Rat-a -tat-tat
Heartache in the evening
Slap slap slap
Soft voices hard-on laps
Leering eyes so cunninglingus
Those dim lit corners
Ever staring out
Heartache in the morning
Rat-a tat-tat
Sorrow in the evening
Slap kiss slap
