Girlfriend Drove Me Crazy

sleep my child sleep 
you know u need the rest
lay here next to mama
right here
right on mommas breast

i will keep you safe 
i will make u free
all you have to do my child
is give your life to me

give momma your lips 
give momma your life
give momma your stooping breast
against her fickle knife

child watch your tongue
child watch in dread
child watch your every word
or dance among the dead

momma is your promise
momma is your sin 
momma is your everything
and momma will begin

strip awayemotion child
strip away from me
I AM NOT YOUR MOMMA CHILD
NOW FADE IN MISERY

I WONT KEEP YOU SAFE
NO! I WONT KEEP YOU WARM!
I WILL MURDER EVERYTHING 
AND TERRORIZE YOUR HOME!

TIME WAS ONCE YOU LOVED ME!
OH NOW WHAT A JOKE!
SHED YOUR TEARS IN AGONY
SO I CAN WATCH YOU CHOKE!

momma has a new child now
and i cannot repair
the damage she has done with love
so all i do is stare

i never want to love again 
i never want to care
but i dont even have a choice
cuz life is never fair.

Izzy I think this is an outstanding write of personal gain and loss, it cries for help yet shows great strength and whoever said life is fair is not on this planet....I would think this was difficult to write....David
