Mother Slam Love

I'd like to get to know you well Before we both descend into hell So I can tell The wood from the tree's And why we did what we did Knowing we burnt our candles On the wrong end of reason For no other reason Than to break each other So no 1 else Would want us Star crossed lovers Both our mothers Warned us Nothing good could ever come From falling in love But we did not listen Instead we fell into Bed And blew ahead Into troubled waters Our sons and daughters Bath on broken glass From 76 to 22 Separate house's Of weekend answers The bitching lance's Backwards and Forth The love war trenches Shouting over child fences Mother was right It was not worth the fight

Mother don't know everything...you gotta find these things out for yourself. Only way to learn what to avoid next time. "And blew ahead Into troubled waters Our sons and daughters Bath on broken glass From 76 to 22 Separate house's Of weekend answers The bitching lance's Backwards and Forth The love war trenches Shouting over child fences ..."

Monkey See Monkey Do My Mum slag's off my Sister's husband but she doesn't get the irony he is the spitting image of my Dad her husband

and what happens after all that bitching and fighting over child fences? the kids end up becoming emotional rissoles well into their adult life, not wanting anything to do with either parent, more than likely being caught up in the same suffocating cycles and all end up with years of time wasted in vain. Mother Slam Love .... good title.
