I Felt You Were Dependable;
Almost Asserted You Were Indispensable
To Me You Were Unmovable;
In Fact You Seemed Unshakeable!
Thence I Assumed You Would Take
Any Mistake I Could Make;
You Looked Like You Could Pardon
Even Blunders That Would Sadden
I Saw You As A Big Brother;
You Were Almost Like Father
Who Would Not Bother
If With Youthful Imprudence I Lather
‘I Was So Wrong’-
That Is My Parting Song!
My Errors You Did Not Pardon;
With Compunction I Am Laden!
How I Wish You Knew Better
Than To Take My Actions To The Letter
Your Ego I Did Batter
But Recompense Would Have Been The Latter
By Now Would I Have Been Holding You In High Esteem
If Only You Had Endured My Anger’s Steam;
You’d Still Have, In My Heart, A Station
Had You Lived Up To Your Reputation
