A mother’s plea
A mother’s plea
You call me in the dead of night
Demanding what is no longer yours
You demand for what you previously gave away so freely
But I will not meet that demand, I never will
What you demand to have is too much to ask for
What you feel is your right to rip from my arms
Is way too much for me to just give away
You demand, take and steal what you want from life
As you did from mine so long ago
You see that I have moved on
You see that you no longer hold a place in my heart
So you set out to once again rip apart my life
But, you have really just displayed what a truly
Hurtful, and brutal person you really are
For you see, it is not my life that you will be ripping apart any more
This impacts on two innocents that have done nothing
Two innocents that only ever asked to be loved
You walked out on us, not the other way around
You made the choice to seek to destroy and brutalize
You made the choice to be a total utter coward
These are you choices not mine
Those are your choices not theirs
Leave them alone as they are
They are happy and content
They are oblivious to your plans, unaware of your intentions
Know this, you will not succeed, you will not win
I will stop you
