Sunday Afternoons - Vanessa Daou

I sit at home

At my desk alone

As I used to do

On many sunday afternoons

When you came back to me

Your arms ached for me

And your arms would close me in

Though they smelled of other women

I think of you

On Sunday afternoons

Your sweet head would bow

Like a child somehow

Down to me —

And your hair and your eyes were wild

We would embrace on the floor-

You see my back´s still sore

You knew how easily I bruised

It´s a soreness I would never lose

I think of you

On Sunday afternoons
