Mother

A tidal wave of emotion

Sorrow, hatred, regret

The absence of feeling

Your presence I cannot forget.

With a smile as far away as heaven

You took away my tears.

And though my past was Hell prevalent,

You stole away my fears.

You made me learn how to depend

You made me learn that you would always be there

You became my shield, my haven

With you, I was never scared.

I knew that if I fell,

You would be there to catch me.

You made me know to trust you.

You said you would never reject me.

You restored to me my wings

With new brilliance, I flew from your nest

But then it happened; the sky came crashing down

And all I wished was to cry on your breast.

But that was not to be; wretched Fate prevailed.

Cold steel had ripped you from my clutches, murder.

And now, another has stolen you away from me,

But I will not sit idle and mourn further.

For the last time, my heart has cried

For the first time, my soul has died

A tidal wave of emotion—

Vengeance.
