Yellow Bedletter

Mamma said

Get away

But you said

Don’t be afraid

We were there

On your bed

Love remained unsaid

I remained unheard

On your bed

Wished I was dead

Instead.

And I, Oh

Wished I never went

To your bed.

I forgot how to escape

Now I wander, say

I wander in your head.

Tried to unravel your head

I was there...

To pretend

While you fled,

And you failed,

And I fell.

You betrayed me instead.

Get away, get away

Mamma said

And you yelled,

Yes, you yelled!

On your bed

As I begged,

As I begged

And I, condemned,

I spared

But Mamma said

Get away, get away

Should’ve heard,

But I dared;

Chose to care,

How I cared!

You just stared

Left me scared

As I cried

Now I cry

All the day

Mamma said

Get away, get away

Now I cry

On your bed

Get away, get away

Now I cry

Every day

As Mamma said,

I’m still crying

On your bed.
