Dear Mother...

Rose to Mom. I'm not entirely sure how accurate this is considering that she is grimdark and all at the most recent point I've read, but I hope it's okay. Please feel free to tell me what you think about any of these songs via reviews!

Dear Mother, I'm sorry for all the years of sugared masks
Sarcastic gestures we both never understood
I'm sorry I forgot you in favor of completing arcane tasks
Though I suppose this is the path of greater good...

I always admired you deep down inside
A feeling I thought that I had to hide
I admit that what I did I never should...

And now I hear that I'm too late
To say these words just face-to-face
I used to think that you'd berate
Me for my sorrows' lack of grace
I know now things that I was never meant to see...
But I wish I could have said what you meant to me...

Dear Mother, I'm sorry for the distance I set up between us...
I was so petty and I thought you were the same
So many years I wasted well before I could have seen us
Playing this deadly cosmic game

I know that you couldn't have stayed here
And yet the thought of losing you gave me such fear...
Indifference I can no longer claim...

And now I hear that I'm too late
To say these words just face-to-face
I used to think that you'd berate
Me for my sorrows' lack of grace
In some timelines I wonder if we could have made amends
But there are greater things on which reality depends

Dear Mother, I'm sorry that I never could have saved you
The rules of the game can't always be broken
I hope you remember what little warmth I gave you
Though our words were always left unspoken...

There's no way for me to bring you back
For the future runs a set and narrow track
But now the risen darkness has awoken

And now I hear that I'm too late... (Can't break these rules, though may I try...)
To say these words just face-to-face (Arise, awake, the seer cries...)
I used to think that you'd berate (How could I have been such a fool?)
Me for my sorrows' lack of grace (How could this game have been so cruel?)
I understand you're gone, but that doesn't mean forgotten...
I see what this game is within, corrupt and rotten...
I'm sorry, mother...
I'm sorry, mother...

I'm sorry, mother...
