I know mate

We just don’t see Mum anymore

I know you watch the windows
Listen for the garage door

And
When you lie beside her bed
I know

She’s not there anymore

I know mate

The big white car doesn’t come home

And
Turn into the drive

You don’t bounce out to the shed
Anymore

As though she was alive

It’s breaking me mate
And
I know you’re just a dog
But it’s breaking you

We both loved mum my boy

And
I desperately wish I could explain

Why?

Mum won’t be back again
