A Poem in Progress

Ok, here's a rough draft. I'm trying to write such emo stuff so I thought I'd write about daily things like yummy cups of tea, routine and simple stuff. Seems to go into depressed mode quite quickly though. Anyway, here's draft one:

Kiss It Better
Weak squash and a rich tea biscuit
These comforts of my childhood
Are a failed remedy.
Comfort disintegrates like
a de-stuffed teddy at my touch
Stale rich tea memories haunt the biscuit tin
An ever present smell of decay.
I reach for my gin and lament
It was all so much easier back then.

Ok, so, it's crap but I think there is something here I can work with.
