|
After all the years she spent |
|
Never knowing where he went |
|
When he needed to be nowhere to be found |
|
He didn't show on time |
|
Never paid a cent |
|
Not one dime |
|
Four weeks late for rent |
|
Never gave a reason |
|
Never stayed for long |
|
Always in a hurry |
|
Always had to run |
|
He was chasing after what he might be sorry if he hadn't done |
|
Maybe this is for the best |
|
That was all the letter said |
|
When she found it waiting there |
|
On his favorite reading chair |
|
Dug her hand into the ground |
|
And quickly lost the taste for moving dirt around |
|
You could see it coming |
|
The time was up |
|
Knew how many spoons of poison honey were in the cup |
|
With what would only be served to bring him down |
|
And she will always live alone in the oldest part of town |
