When Love Turns To Hate
WHEN LOVE TURNS TO HATE
They were once in love, but love’s turned to hate,
and Steve no longer resides at their house.
His wife had an affair with his best mate,
who then lived with Steve’s son and his ex-spouse.
Their divorce was bitter, her lawyers won;
she got the house, the car and their small child.
Steve’s granted access to see their young son
and hugs him tightly when they’re reconciled.
Steve feels depressed when he has to defer
for she reneges on his visiting rights.
When he next has his son, he will show her
by putting an end to their horrid fights
Steve jumped from the cliff tops at Beachy Head,
his son clasped in his arms, both were found dead.
*reneges counted as 2 syllables not 3 as per how many syllables
