Always And Forever - Gothic Love Poetry
Street Kid in London Town Jody just wanted to be loved She was tired of all the shouting and screaming First of all it was her mother who took the blows And then he started on her Her father had loved her in the beginning She could remember the good times When they would play on the slide and the swings But that was becoming a distant memory She felt empty inside She saved up some money and walked out the door One look over her shoulder and then she turned away She headed for the centre of London Another stranger on the way to cardboard city She begged for money to buy food And made a few new friends Children in a similar position to her Or possibly worse off Addicted to alcohol or drugs Even in this desolate landscape She found warmth in others A boy named David looked out for her They grew closer and shared a kiss or two She slowly started to feel happy again A warmth inside that had died long ago But now was newly rekindled However life can be cruel in cardboard city David was a heroine addict And needed to have his fix There were times when he was okay When he loved and caressed her And showed her he cared But the craving was hard to resist He had to get his shot of the intoxicating white powder Tragedy is never far away from these streets They found him lying in a cardboard box The life had drained out of him The Salvation Army arranged the funeral Jody and few of the street kids turned up to say farewell Now Jody was alone And trouble was surely not far away The streets of London are no place for a vulnerable young girl Only time can determine her fate Let us hope and pray it is not too late
