Did I Or Did I Knot

DID I OR DID I KNOT? DID I OR DID I KNOT? Upon this day I proclaim Nothing about this day should be the same Birds should not be singing Church bells should not be ringing Doves should not be cooing lovers should cease their wooing And as for me I don’t know what I should be doing Do I celebrate having an alliance with a woman for 63 years Or do I sit here and cry sixty-three thousand tears Worst of all is that since her breath came to halt Everyone thinks the thing’s I’ve done killed her early and it’s all my fault The sky is still blue, the sun is still bright But what agonizes me most is what if they’re right? If I hadn’t sliced off another piece of her heart would she still be here? And I cannot repent because why ask for forgiveness for something I cannot bear? I can’t say I’m sorry, but I’ve said it time and time again And now I feel as though I’m a pariah and the worst of all men Did I really kill my mother with my actions, desperate as they were? The only recompense and sense is that the only one who would say no was her © 2011.……Phreepoetree ~free cee!~ D. of all the condolences your’s was the sweetest and most considerate! Thanks
