Poem
Our Maureen sits, At an old kitchen table She’d say: “I love you,” If she were able But she missed her chance, And took to the bottle She cried herself sober, And ran back to her hovel She ran her hand through her golden brown hair, And battered her eye lids, Terry was there A young driver, She was two years his junior, But he said: “I love you,” And Maureen’s heart fluttered Two happy teens, She found love in his arms She warmly smiled, In her eyes there were stars Her eyes, they made up A deepened blue sky In the back there is heaven, To where she and Terry would fly Laughing out loud, How her life could be different If only her Terry, Would never leave her He held her hand, And gave her a drink How her heart fluttered As back she gave him a wink Blamed for a crime, He did not commit It sent him crazy, To her her heart he gave her a hit She vowed, by his side She would forever stand She warmly smiled, And held his hand She wrote him poems, And lovely letters He didn’t read them, Instead he resent them Maureen just sat, Crying at the table Her eyes filled with tears She took to the bottle Screaming out loud, Her life could be different If only her Terry, Hadn’t had left her Now she is forced to find love, In oneself, With strain she is stranded, Her heart on the shelf She went to the bar, With her mother and sister To self isolate, She went to the bathroom When she had left, She looked a new woman That’s where she met Tony A sweet look she then gave him Tony took Maureen to the back of the pub, And spoke to her softly, before they made love, Two children later, and they’re still together But her heart wanders Away like a sailor She loves her Tony, although he is nasty Calls her a “slag,” and bullies her hastily Not letting Maureen speak, or state her case So she’s forced to break down, And drink away her haze She runs away to the “safety,” of mother But she isn’t listened And kicked out by her father Self negotiating in her fixtures narration, After years of not speaking, She’s sees her young Terry Dries away her tears, Their love, they rekindle He takes her to safety After her father’s funeral Whispering gently, how now life is different No longer drinking, In love, and with Terry Maureen is settled, She looks up with a smile Laying in his arms She’s content for a while
