Marriage
Both gay and straight
They dream of marriage
In a golden carriage
Personally all I ever wanted
Was a childhood
But I didnt get one
So I gather the scraps
And make a coat against
The winter cold of ageing
And cling to my dreams
And fantasies
I may play
At being a grown up
But its all just playing shop
My pantomime of childhood
Im not sure I'll ever stop
If this confuses the simple minded
I dont care
As I am decided
