Flat Cakes and Coffee
I saw her walk down the steps
Across the floor
She looked even more like hell
Then she did before.
She hardly ate
She barely slept
A day and night vigil
Over Billy she kept.
She gets to her office
She shuts the door.
I'm not sure how much
Of this, I can take anymore.

So damn tired
My eyes protest
As I sit down
At my desk
Need to go over the numbers
My brain too encumbered
I pull from my pocket the one thing
That I can't get off my mind
That damn ring.
My head rests in my hand
As I try to puzzle.
Who Why and When
But that was the trouble
I just couldn't think anymore.
I need to lay down my head
My entire body hurts
From not sleeping in a bed.
I put the ring on
I don't want it to be for me
Of course, a perfect fit.
How am I to do this Billy?
I never expected to see Ronan again.
I thought I'd been abandoned,
Oh, Ronan.
But then Billy I never expected you.
Oh, Billy! What do I do?
I can't stand the thought
Of hurting or
losing either of you.
