Stuck Between A Rock And A Hard Place

STUCK BETWEEN A ROCK & A HARD PLACE

Sadly I find myself in such a place
To be honest, I never thot I would be
Unfortunately I am due to what's happening,
Coz either way it's a challenge for me,

Knowing that before she agreed to come,
Between us was an agreement tho
Each of us agreed that she could live with me,
That 3 months we'd try and see how things flow

When that time was up, I was to let her know
Even if she disagreed didn't want to,
Even if she had no place to go
Not giving me a hassle, that was her cue

As I started to raise issues at hand,
Respectfully she was to leave
Of course this didn't make it easy
Coz this was hard, and I was grieved

Knowing that I would have to say
At an appointed time to my mother
Namely that she cannot stay
Days my stomach is upset that I had to tell her

As I told her the news, naturally she got upset
Hoping she wouldn't make it harder for me
At least that was what she agreed to,
Relentlessly tho, she put much guilt sadly

Dealing with my own guilt of having to kick her out
Plus her own hurtful words that she'd say
Lack of sleep is what affected me more
And being heartbroken and depressed all day

Could I actually deal with what she threw my way?
Evidently I chose I couldn't and sadly she can't stay.
