| Your Clothes | |

After losing my husband in 1997, i moved again and tried to start a new, i found a bag of clothes. Six months later, i found your clothes on the shelf today, The ones you wore that certain day. That day the kids and i went out, On my return i had to scream and shout. No mobile phone, no-one about, My screams got louder as i tried to shout. Police, ambulance, neighbours too, They laid you down next to the loo. I retrace your steps with the fag in the sink, Did you have tears as you blinked? It took time for what you did, Before i left i rolled your cigs. All set up and wrote a note, Climbed the ladder stepped off and choked. I sit and wonder if your looking down, Watching your daughter run around. Steven she looks so much like you, Why ? we all loved you. It's easy for me to say i'm okay, But i don't know after today. I forgot i hadn't thrown them out, Put on the shelf without a doubt. I can switch off, then it comes flooding back, Think i've done well up to scratch. But what do i do with your clothes now? There all i got, but i don't know how, How to let go of someone who's not there, The one who left us without a care. Thing is i can't let go, As i know you loved me so. I'll figure it out in time one day, Why your wings spread and you flew away...
