Stuck Between Two Brothers
STUCK BETWEEN TWO BROTHERS
I’m stuck between two brothers
Both at once my mother’s lovers
One married her, totally unaware
The other her love, she did share
Took a time before the truth told
As a brothers love then turn cold
Took revenge on the child, not his
As now her unhappiness is as it is
Why the mother is never, blamed
And the true father never, named
As to give me some peace of mind
Why have you to me, been unkind
Serves you well, that I hate you all
And I have no door in which to call
Passing by my very own heartache
Now left forgotten as your mistake
