At times life becomes what is termed HEAVY and emotions run fast and uncontrollable.
Its probably one of my least favourite times but it does I think give me an insight into my own feelings at least for the briefest of moments.

Where's Mr Dependable
Wheres Mr dependable
when you need a bag of sugar
when the rent's not paid
and the cars not taxed
when you need a lift to the airport
and you've forgotten the number for the taxi
yet again.
Where's Mr dependable when the job's too hard

Where's Mr dependable when you've been hurt

and the tears burn like acid as they stream down your heartbroken face.
Where's Mr dependable when you know its over
and your worst feelings are realised and you can't deal with it
when you don't have the courage to say
but he has.
Where's Mr dependable when the doors aint locked behind you anymore
and open spaces are just another prison and the cold light of day eclipses the darkness
in your heart.
Where's Mr dependable when you can't remember the last time anyone took you in there arms
and told you everything is ok.
Where's Mr Dependable when the anger is there but you don't know where to direct it and his
shoulders seem to span the chasm between despair and hope
and your screams are just cries for help.
Where's Mr dependable when time has ticked it's last tock and regret swallows up your last seconds
of this past life and the end is your only salvation.
Well the time has come .............. and you can all just
