The Melancholy

 

She said she'd see me but she took a while,

Needed the company for all she knew,

I felt so lonely, and with friends so few,

I needed someone who'd give me a smile,

Who would sweeten all of my angry bile.

Yet she was my daughter, the girl I grew

and every day I would make her good stew.

Now she was into fashion, class and style,

A grown woman, she'd no longer be mine.

If only she knew how I felt so low,

I wasn't pleased or feeling at all fine,

Beyond the house I had nowhere to go.

I needed a friend who'd show me the Rhine,

Who'd have something else for me to endow.
