Mama why does he treat me so cold. why do I feel so old. how long has he treated me unkind. or have I always been so blind. I'm the widow of a living man. Why can't the times stay the same. now I am begging him to change. what about all the plans we made. now I am so afraid. I'm the widow of a living man. Why does he hurt me so. I'm gonna need someplace to go. he's no longer some kind woman's son. mama I think that I had better run. I'm the widow of a living man.
