about

December 2016: I have a roof over my head, for which I am grateful every day. I'm going through the motions of rebuilding a shattered life, sitting on my lounge, realising I’m on my own, looking at the things around me, hoping to find an anchor or comfort in them.

lyrics

ON MY OWN © DJ Gosper

I’m turning these four walls into my home
I never thought I’d live alone. I’m on my own

There’s nineteen years of you and me
Packed in boxes under my feet
- we’re history

I’ve got some plants that I put in pots
A money tree for luck and forget me nots
Forget me nots, forget me not

There’s my tv screen, for months it’s been black
You always fixed it, yeah you had the knack
You won’t be back

My second-hand lounge is purple and green
It’s much brighter than my TV screen
I wish I could scream

My body aches. The feeling’s back it seems
This is real not some nightmare dream
I try to scream. Why can’t I scream?

A photo of my mum is up on my wall
She’s beautiful and strong, not even five feet tall
I miss my mum

Beside my mum, a photo of my son
He’s handsome, he’s loyal, yeah he’s my fragile one
He’s my fragile son

There’s my single bed where I miss your heat
I wish I could cry myself to sleep
I wish I could weep. Why can’t I weep?

Our wedding photo used to be by the phone
I never signed up to live on my own
I’m on my own

I’m turning these four walls into my home
