One Last Goodbye

Do you hear it
The kettle hisses, without a hinder
Takes me back to when you's would whisper
You were my fox and you my man
Explain why you ran away with the woman 

As if her heart was hard like concrete
There relationship used to be so sweet
As if I'd believe a wolf would maul a swan
And now Daddy is gone

Daddy would never hit mom
But her poppy shapped bruises said different
Their relationship labelled a ticking time bomb
Usually lovers see each other's as equivalents

Back to the kitchen, quoted now
Am I here to confess one last vow
My problems the world knows not
Seemingly sewed into a vile monster 
What was the point in one last shot
And now I'm stuck here in yonder

Older now, going out in the tractor 
Searching for some of the so called human factor
The grass dancing, waving goodbye
The foxes stopped attentively awaiting a reply?
