Mother

Mother shot father and I don’t see How this came to be Mother shot father and I can't hear The sound of gunfire ringing in my ear In my room I sit A cigarette in my hand, asking to be lit Mother shot father and I don’t know why I can't seem to find the tears to cry Mother shot father Bam bam bam Mother shot father Bam bam bam A bullet straight to the head And now daddy is dead Two more shots, just to be sure Its all a blur Mother shot father And then mother shot mother Here I sit, in my room alone The words in my head an endless drone Mother shot father Mother shot mother If I shoot myself Will all the blame lie with mother?

This is a good write. I hope it's not true. Thanks for sharing. Lucilla.
