See you Later ?
Maybe you will ?
Maybe you won't ?
Whole life ahead
Barely a teenager
Yet leaving home dressed to Kill
Far to young to understand
Just exactly how this scenario will play out or end
You either end up Stabbed to Death Yourself
Or
Sentenced to Life in Prison
Better still might as well take that Knife
And drive it through your Mother's Heart
Because whatever the final outcome
It's the Mother's who are bound to Suffer
And come off Worse
When you are reduced to a Photograph
In a Locket or her Purse
Or flowers on your Grave
To mark another Anniversary
She bor you and gave you life
And in return how do you pay her back and thank her
You Steal her Child from her
For What ????
