Mum
By
Rusty Broadspear
Let’s leave all thoughts behind
Why don’t you leave me alone?
I want somewhere I can’t get in
Leave me on my own.
The Devil walks in and tells me
Let me take where you want to go.
There’s no door to her heart, she beats me
I cringe in a corner
And ask why.
Beth is my baby sister
Looked after, adored and how.
Never liked me
‘Cos different Father
And rather than admit
That Beth has a shit of a brother.
Let me take you where you don’t want to go
I want to enter your heart
You won’t let me, ‘cos you beat me so much’
I want to enter your arms
But you close them
And say you are cold, which you are
And busy, troubled ……..
Well my mind is muddled
You hurt me and I love you,
You’re my Mum, we are each other
But one more hurt
Will mean
Goodbye.
