early april day

I’ll drive you there
you left on a sunday…

no, relief, it won’t come cheap
even time can be a cheat
when it lets you think you’re healed
no, there’s no hidden pot of gold at the end of the rainbow
only time clipping your heels
but then I can read it in your face
that you feel you’ve run your race
and there’s little more to tell
I would’ve given you my hand
could’ve helped you understand
how to flee your private hell

but you didn’t even say goodbye
cos you could bring yourself to
and you’ll regret it all your life
cos when she left
she left for good…

yes, when that car took her away
on that early april day
you refused to even look
it would’ve stood you in good stead
if you’d sorted out your head
if you’d ever read a book

I always struggled to explain
how you processed such pain
in the face of everything
I still remember your wry smile
the day your mother died
the odd shiver it gave me
