Yes, I left like a thief, quietly
No goodbye waving, no kiss
Just run, and no looking back
But my soul was caught in the door
Tearing painfully in halves
Like a piece of cloth
Forever making me unwhole
How sorry I am, for the pain I caused
The ship flew me beyond
The pillars of your world
Where only love could follow
Yes, I had been drowning in
Sweet Calypso’s arms
While your hands were weaving
The thread of mourning
The thread of mending
The thread of return
How sorry I am, for the pain I caused
my mother's dusty poems
