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
