| After all the years she spent | |
| Never knowing where he went | |
| When he needed to be nowhere to be found | |
| He didn't show on time | |
| Never paid a cent | |
| Not one dime | |
| Four weeks late for rent | |
| Never gave a reason | |
| Never stayed for long | |
| Always in a hurry | |
| Always had to run | |
| He was chasing after what he might be sorry if he hadn't done | |
| Maybe this is for the best | |
| That was all the letter said | |
| When she found it waiting there | |
| On his favorite reading chair | |
| Dug her hand into the ground | |
| And quickly lost the taste for moving dirt around | |
| You could see it coming | |
| The time was up | |
| Knew how many spoons of poison honey were in the cup | |
| With what would only be served to bring him down | |
| And she will always live alone in the oldest part of town |
