The wrench of parting
And when the storm abated
and drips began to sound
their synchopated rhythm
on the sodden muddy ground
my senses felt a madness
as birds began to sing
their melancholy sadness
at the dawning of the spring
myself in mood made heavy
by lack of sleep and drudge
so that when the sun came boldly
and tried to give a nudge
it was with a deep reflection
that I dug to find a flame
and make that glad connection
that whispered your sweet name
for now departed and moved on
you will sing another song
and it won't be all that long
before you're blessed with a fine son
yet I lie here
your once loved dear
and cannot stop a tear
from coursing down my chin
when I'd rather let you in
when you upset my whole
you left a great big hole
our lives have driven us apart
its not due to lack of love but lack of art
keeping faithful to the one
and not spreading seed for fun
you'll regret you have begun
another life with yet another
understanding wife
so my tears must soon dry up
as I pick myself right up
and dress again
my body now rejected
and if I now reflected
its the same,
not changed its name
so just lean onto the window sill
and watch that big red globe
rise above the trees you love
and let nature take its course
you can get another horse
and ride away to sunsets
gold and red another day
easy to say, hard to do
when your love for him was true
but you'll have a different view
as there's someone there for me
and that is you, who?
Why yes you.
