Used to

Does she make Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
for you, just because, the way I used to?

Does she make you breakfast in bed,
or draw you a bath, the way I used to?

Does she clean up you mess,
or collect all your stuff, the way I used to?

Does she support your music,
or your career, the way I used to?

Does she pay half the bills and rent,
and buy groceries, the way I used to?

Does she love your dog,
or love you, the way I used to?

Do you use her and abuse her,
like me, the way you used to?
