I should have known she knew more than I thought
But it never crossed my mind that she did
It never crossed my mind that I would be the one ‘’outing’’ myself to her
So it came as a surprise to me when I told her that it was true
Yes mum I live with a girl! I exclaimed
That’s right, am in love with her too and have been for a while now
The words that followed were no surprise to me
What did I expect? Of course there was going to be a melt down
The mixture of reprieve and misery crammed my heart
I had finally told her the truth……But the malevolent things she was saying?
I adored, my mother
I was convinced that all my life she would always support me
Well, I was about to be proved wrong, there were some conditions to the sustain
As I listened and defended my queen
I must say I was surprised that I never dropped the phone or disconnected
On and on we went………. A shouting march
The days to follow would be the hardest ………….
