1 To My Mother's Broken Heart

By: Ryoko Hakubi

You looked at me with open arms,

Haven't seen me for so long,

I shattered you're hopes,

I shattered you're dreams,

I pushed you away and I couldn't see,

My betrayal blinded me and I pushed you away,

My ears wouldn't hear what you had to say,

I broke your heart and made you cry,

When I said I didn't care it was a lie,

So my heart broke too,

You were my mother and I always knew,

Deep in my heart I knew you were,

But my mind was screaming and wouldn't let that be heard,

My mother,

My friend,

My shoulder to cry on having a hand to lend,

Someone I ignored and left behind,

Someone I pushed out of my mind,

Please forgive,

Please say you do,

I will do anything for you,

You took care of me,

But I was stolen,

Why couldn't I see?

You weren't the one who abandoned me,

I'm sorry,

Please forgive me,

Please say you do,

I don't want you to be sad too,

I don't want you to cry,

I don't want to be the reason why,

I've opened up my mind,

And my heart,

You have always been so kind,

Not to mention always smart,

You had an answer for everything,

But when it came to me hating you,

The reason why?

You had no clue,

I'm sorry I did that to you,

Mother forgive me,

I know you can see,

I know you can tell that I'm truly sorry,

Now were together,

Just you and me,

Walk hand in hand,

So everyone can see,

I have to say something I never really knew,

Mama I love you,

I really do.
