Song of Spring

So we all retreat

into our clouds of disbelief

Turning from the sun

doing all we please

hoping time releases us

From hard times yet to come

I’ll say what I said before

String it along

like bells on a bough

But I’m sick with it now

That I’d been so proud

to lie to you

to piss in our bed

Caught up in the night

when mercy’s far from sight

Fighting with the past

Did I always do what was best for you?

Or did I do my best to lose you?

Made it manifest

misused you

You didn’t desert me

tried not to hurt me

I wish I’d done

the same for you

New day will soon come

as it has long done

Will we sing a song of spring?

Things can’t be undone

but with a new sun

another day, another way
