So old

I thought about you today
bending and stretching
finding that part of you
that somehow got lost

I thought about you crying
and wondering why
thinking that madness
was not far away

And I wondered and thought
maybe it's the change
that very strange time
in a womans life

When you said that's what it is
and made some joke about tea
and I shook my head
I wanted to cry

I looked around me
at the men here at work
no bloody idea
no clue thank God

For there are some things
I wouldn't want known
why I feel so lost
and sometimes so old
