She had never been a springtime Butterfly But she had flown early from home Leaving behind a family too busy Listening to the tenor notes of their Own voices moaning Iambe’s first home after that was one of isolation An AM radio her music, she learned to dance Listening to oldies, country, and Chicago’s rock While her audience was the occasional deer or squirrel. She moved in with him, because he had promised Something better. It was better It was void of the tenor tones of family And he worked on the road during the week Leaving her to fend for herself. She learned to fix things Because she had to She learned to drink To kill the silence She learned to leave To save her sanity. No Spring Butterfly But she did learn to fly… |

Cpat "She learned to drink To kill the silence She learned to leave To save her sanity." In just a few words I understand her. You know how to bring life with words |
