“I Don’t Wish You Were Here”

you would have hated the future
We never went back to the moon
I’m not sorry you’re not here to see this
You didn’t leave me too soon
I’ll be perfectly clear
I don’t wish you were here
You hated my drinking
I hated it too
It must be only worst thing about me
that didn’t descend like millstone from you
I was your favorite
I did not choose to be
But at the end of the long line of vast disappointments
The one who still answered was me
You would have hated the future
We never went back to the moon
I’m not sorry you’re not here to see this
You didn’t leave me too soon
To be perfectly clear
I don’t wish you were here
I gave you forgiveness
The best that I could
But I never forgot or let go of your egress
And so I don’t trust my own motherhood
Because what is a mother
If not one who goes
I won’t be repeating on your
Ugly history I have been
Working my whole life to show
I was only as good as my word
And my word at the time
Was worth less on the street than
You’d pay for this line
And I gave you all the drunk words that I had
And the next time I’d hear of you
It was my dad calling me
To deliver the
Worst kind of news
And that’s the last
There ever was of you
I still play your records
The ones that you left
I still have my grandfather’s flag from Arlington,
The last memento we have of his death
I don’t wish you could see me
Telling my story of leaving
Giving your death a real meaning
By turning it into a song
I’ll be perfectly clear
I don’t wish you were here
