Dear Mother

My hate for you is burning strong
Itâ??s burned for you for oh so long
You stoke the embers with your snipes
It flares up when Iâ??m alone at night

Does this hate for you show in my eyes?
Can you see when Iâ??m telling lies?
When I say â??I love you mumâ???
Or have you known all along?

Do you want to make amends?
You canâ??t burn your candle at both ends!
You either love me or you donâ??t
Donâ??t say you will when you wont

This bridge between us is almost burnt
Will I tell you now what Iâ??ve learnt?
Iâ??ve learnt not to be taken in
Because thatâ??s when my hurt begins

Every time I think youâ??ve changed
You turn around and do the same
You break the trust that Iâ??ve built up
But now dear mother Iâ??ve had enough

You canâ??t go around acting like you care
But then only you would dare
Dare to go and break that bond
And then try and wave your â??magic wandâ??

To try and fix the damage youâ??ve done
But now that youâ??ve had your fun
Iâ??ll tell you now no more can you fix
Iâ??m sorry but youâ??ve had your kicks

Because now mummy Iâ??m taking charge
Because my hate for you is now to large
I can no longer keep it under wraps
Have you had a memory lapse?

Do you remember when I was very young?
You told me to go and help him for fun
But fun for one
Isnâ??t fun for some?

He touched me in my special place
I will always see his smiling face
Its because of you he go his chance
To get his hands down my pants

I never told you my little secret
But then I couldnâ??t trust you to keep it
You never gave me that helping hand
I knew that you couldnâ??t understand

Youâ??d just say I was telling lies
Because thatâ??s all I am in your eyes
The child that you love to hate
As you so fondly like to state

Well it doesnâ??t matter to me anymore
But this to you I do implore
Get your act together mum
Or I promise you I will move on

I will just get up and leave
And I wont have any regrets
Break my face you say youâ??ll do?
Break my heart that could be true

But in the end you will lose
And youâ??re the one who will have the bruise
Because of the child that you have lost
I hope you know what your power will cost
