Drip Drop

There is a dripping tap that needs repair before the big freeze

The guy who just walked in has a hole in his heart
He doesn't know it yet, But he will soon.
His wife will mourn along with her unborn
Before mourning his passing some 3 years later.

She never tried again for more, Her new husband left
wanting children his argument, He lived to the grand
age of ninety two, Alone, It seems he wasn't blessed to
conceive, But he died with a smile on his face all the same
With his wife of some fifty years by his side, She died some
weeks before. His heart just stopped they said broken I believe.

The tap did get repaired, But some years later they tore the
wall down to make way for some super highway.

No one remembers now,
The guy with the hole or his pregnant wife,
Or the dripping tap.

Just me.
