KEITH BUCCELLATO - Mother why?

Since the first day i saw mother.
She taught love, Honor and how to respect one another.

Always their for every need.
A bump, Bruise or little nose bleed.

In my youth i learned to protect.
Anything that came between mother and i got choked by the neck.

Friends laughed when i rushed home from school.
I did not care about being cool.

I wanted to be home with mother.
Who to blame.
Sh-t, She took me to all the Met games.

When i turned eighteen things went down hill.
Mother forgot who she was.
Liked f-ked off a bad pill.

Started running through town.
Partying every night.
Like an anorexic person without an appetite.
Drinking at bars where my friends and i hangout and fight.

I told mother, This must come to an end.
If not you will lose your son and best friend.

Mother thought i was not serious.
I moved out the next day.
I was furious.

Fourteen years have now gone bye.
Have not spoken with mother in all this time.

She calls a few times a year.
I let the phone ring and drink my beer.

I hope one day we will tie all of our mends.
We are only getting older.
Things someday will come to an end.

ONE LOVE BALANCE.

KEITH BUCCELLATO
