Mum, I'm writing you a poem.
Maybe the last one, surely the first
The night is still and dark
I'm sitting up in bed and she's sleeping beside me
And she's breathing so steadily
Music is filtering through to me
Or is it just the buzzing in my head
I'm sitting here, awash with tears
As I'm sad and alone
Fear is choking me
Solitude is such a dreadful fear
Overwhelming me, pervading me
You know, Mum, I've imagined
There is no God, no!
There is no God.
Calm is only my home
Where you remain and where I no longer am
Where I will probably never return
Mum, I love you very much, I love you!
I thought you'd done me wrong
But it was me who's done you wrong
Such a shame I grasped it so late
So late did I understand
Understand
