Don'T Leave Me Cozied-Up Homely Poem by Mark Heathcote

Don't leave me cozied-up homely
Feeling caged trivialized alienated
Don't leave me lost and lonely,
Don't leave me longing isolated.
For you!

Don't leave me for used-up alibis
Don't leave me haggling for a life
Don't leave me clinging onto lies
Not at my time of life—
For you! For you! For you!

My hearts too warm for your isobars
You can't pickle my heart in a jar
Keep it in a larder cool dry stored
My hearts not empty as a gourd.

So don't leave me cozied-up homely
Waiting for you! For you! For you!
Feeling caged trivialized alienated
Don't leave me here lost and lonely,
Don't leave me here longing isolated.
For you! For you! For you! For you!

Don't leave me, your esoteric circle
Darling it's me us our children
Who best understand you?
Don't leave me for those used-up alibis
Don't say you're just working
When it's me who's cooking
For you! For you! For you

Honey, don't leave me, just treat me right
I don't want to fight
I don't want to fight
For you! For you! For you!
Cos I might just leave myself
For a man who'll treat I right—tonight!
Without, without, any alibis…
