SHE WAS A DIFFERENT WOMAN, THAT WOMAN.

She was a differnt woman,
That woman,
That mother,
That wife,
Safe by the hearth,
Half asleep,
Leaving it all unsaid,
Watching the years melt behind her;
Clean socks,
Apple pie and cream,
The news at ten,
Wet sunday afternoons,
Rain falling like helpless tears against the glass,

Silence and despair,
Silence and despair,
Silence and despair,
Silence and despair.
