Sunday Mornings

by Bek Williams

driving down the highway
wondering why you're not here again
i woke up in a different house
and you said you didn't care
you didn't care

it's been three weeks
since they saw you last
and i never, well, i never know
what to say

i find you
in the back of the house
moaning about
what went wrong

i leave you
like you are
talking to yourself
so bitter

and i know
it's not exactly stupid to think
that there may be
some hope left for me

and i wish
you would quit destroying
everything that we used to
call so precious
and hold dear to our hearts

i find you
in the back of the house
moaning about
what went wrong

i leave you
like you are
talking to yourself
so bitter

you wonder
why i stay away
well i don't exactly know
what to tell you

but it's not easy
to take back the things we said
when we were angry
not that you would anyway

Author's Note: another song about my mother and how i hate having to make excuses for her time and again. really better off as a song, but i'll put it up here anyway, and maybe someone will take up some interest in it as a poem.

"i find you in the back of the house" says so much, so very powerful.
