Regret

I see the way your face lights up,

But I also see your fears.

The way you hurt when they mock you,

And those silent, sniffling tears.

-

A pain you must deal with,

When your curse isn't your fault.

Oh, how I hate it when they tease you,

Though I try to take it with a pinch of salt.

-

If only I knew what you'd go through,

Perhaps I would have considered.

And maybe if I knew what would happen,

This future of yours I could have altered.

-

Forgive me, my son

For this my selfishness.

Don't blame yourself,

For in this you are faultless.

-

Let me hold your precious body,

In my loving arms.

Let me protect you,

From any possible harms.

-

I'd sell my soul to free you,

From this which is your fate.

I'd die a thousand deaths,

But my sorrow is too late.

-

How I wish to scream at them

When they tease my little child.

How they mock the little "halfbreed",

It drives me simply wild.

-

I wish it could be,

Just you and I,

And never again,

Would I see you cry.

-

Forgive me my son,

For I don't have that power,

But let my loving heart,

Be your saving bower.

-

I wish you could see,

All the things you are to me,

Wish you could know what

When I look at you I see.

-

When I see your smiling face,

My heart fills with joy.

How I love to hold

My precious little boy.

-

So cling to me tight,

And dry your tears.

While you're in my arms you're safe,

From all of your fears.
