A serious conversation

You can’t spell families without the word lies,

‘Tell me the truth!’ the daughter cries,

‘Have you gone and had an affair?’

My mom’s in bits, or don’t you care?’

 

The father looked her in the eye

And shockingly began to cry.

 

‘I’m sorry to do this to you mother

But I feel that she does smother

Me, just like she’s put a pillow

On my face. My air did billow.

I need to get out of this place,

And get this pillow off my face,

For I need to be free,

Free to find the real me.

The me that’s single and can screw,

People other than that shrew

Of a mother that you have, sorry love

For being honest, I’ve gone above

What I’ve promised, on that day called a wedding.

I need to see some other bedding!

Never before have I been

So unhappy, even though I seem

Content. I’m drowning and I need out

I’m sorry love, I don’t mean to shout,

But I’m passionate about my decision,

It’s much better than an incision

On my wrists or around my neck,

That’s what was going to happen, heck,

I nearly did it yesterday, I nearly

Did myself away. I don’t really

Expect you to understand, that I am my own man

And I must do what I feel best, Sam

I know that you protest. But I need

To do what I feels right. Greed

Is maybe in the equation,

It’s a messy situation!

Please understand my love

For you I'd go over and above

And that to me means leaving

Home. I understand that you’re grieving

My darling, that’s the last thing

I want. I want you to ring

Whenever you need me

But I just need to be free’

‘Thank you dad for your confession,

It has really taught me a lesson,

That I should never ever rely

On people. Ill remain shy

About men, because I’m honestly disgusted

About what you’ve told me. But

Thank you for your honesty. Cut

The lines of communication if you want,

At the moment I just cant

Look you in the eye. So go, get

Your life in order. I won’t phone yet

I don’t want to become a third

Wheel in the situation. Like a bird

You’ll fly away and leave me to pick

Up the pieces. Sick

I am but I won’t come in between you

And mom. Thanks for being true

And follow your heart. Even though I don’t

Agree, I promise that I won’t

Lose communication with you, because

I love you both down to your bones. it was

A shock to the system, this news

And now you’ll go leaving me bemused’

 

‘I’m sorry that you feel that way,

But just for you I cannot stay,

So now I’ll say goodbye and I

Love you pet. So please don’t cry’

 

‘Its ok dad I can’t say I get

Your reasoning on the situation yet

But give me a buzz in a week or two.

I’ll look forward to speak to you!’
