Overdone

Door Locked Open, Door Locked Shut
See you soon, hopefully not
I've been and gone so many times
Without a work I've dropped no lines
Just look Forward, Never Back
Selfish bastard, dicta-brat

Please forgive me
For the things that I've done
Don't feel ashamed
If you're asked hows your son

Living here and living there
Lived at home but very rare
To see your faces it would be
A treasure locked in memory
Do drop a line, say hello dad
I await your answer, for I also beg

Please accept me
From a baby I have come
Pain, distress and heartache
I have now overcome

Running here and running there
Often caught but never cared
Been a-courting every year
Should have been a courtier
I'll understand if it'll matter
If you don't write I'll still beg
You understand I will mum
If you can't write I'll still beg

Dealing low and dealing high
Money your way just walked by
Visible lines now I can see
Was all this the cause of me
A letter has come she has replied
Read two years ago your mother died

Please forgive me
For the things that I've done
Don't feel ashamed
If you're asked hows your son
