Mother dear

Please shut your mouth.

You know not what you say.

Mother dear

Please don’t shout.

I hear you loud and clear.

Mother dear

You don’t understand.

It’s not your choice to make.

Mother dear

I still love you so.

But I hate the things you do.

Mother dear

I can’t abide by your wishes.

My heart won’t let it be.

Mother dear

I love him more than life.

Don’t force me to throw you out.

Mother dear

I must take the path you fear.

I may never turn back around.

Mother dear

Don’t shut the door.

I threw away the key.
