No 50 Ways
(Marietta Schröder)

What led up to this
I don't know why
I'd wake up at night
and realize I'd cry

 We never had a fight
although I'd try
we were polite and calm
and yet I'd cry

 We'd sit at dinner
and 'd pass the bread
I'd fill your teacup
feeling cold from dread

I don't know fifty ways
I know only one
I turn around
I close the door
and I am gone

Together we went shopping
on saturdays at noon
the air was stifling
and all I thought was "soon"

We'd built the house
and life wasn't bad
well, there was some routine
but I was going mad

We dug the garden
a mole was trapped
he broke his back
and then I snapped

I don't know fifty ways
I know only one
I turn around
I close the door
and I am gone
