about

I'm not wild about autobiographical assignments, and especially this one about regret in a dark period of my life. There's too much material. Adopting two cats I couldn't afford to care for, trying to pawn them off on a boyfriend and eventually taking them to the pound are several things I regret a lot. I had reasons or excuses but it doesn't make it ok.

I had the chorus in my head all week, and tried to piece together coherent verses today. Not a good vocal performance. Maybe the novelty of viola accompaniment helps.

lyrics

I was so young
nothing to share
yet I took on two mewling lives.


soon all the coins
in the sofa crack ran out,
I dumped my wards on some guy's head,
and walked away.

But the duty I took on
remained on my soul.

I should atone
for the rest of my days
or at least,
do no more harm


The cats came back to nothing
only a window to sit in
and watch the same car driving by and by.

I had to go, without those two for some reason
The shelters full, off to the Pound.

I walked away. And left them to die.

I should atone
for the rest of my days
or at least,
do no more harm
