Momma, Said

Momma, said I always fed vampires That my heart was always living a half-lie Momma said my footsteps always trod On unexploded, landmines. Momma said no matter the pain Never shed a tear, never cry Momma, said even if you feel like a hurricane Just you keep your roof on & turn like a weathervane. Momma said I should bite my tongue don't profane! A man isn't worth building a drystone wall A man isn't worth chicaning your heart for … Find the right one & drive through that wall. Momma said I always take in rattlesnakes Momma, shakes her head says haven't you got any pride Momma, I love you but haven't you made mistakes too Momma, I love you. Momma, I love you. Momma, I love you. Do you momma, love me too.
