It doesn't matter that your father abandoned you. It doesn't matter, because men abandon; some men abandon; a man abandoned; a man abandons. Sometimes I can hear their steps in the dark. It doesn't matter that your mother suffered like her mother suffered and made you suffer, because women suffer; some women suffer; a woman suffered; a woman suffers. Sometimes I can hear their steps in the dark while they go away.

Your father, part 1
It doesn't matter that your father abandoned you. It doesn't matter, because men abandon; some men abandon; a man abandoned; a man abandons. Sometimes I can hear their steps in the dark. It doesn't matter that your mother suffered like her mother suffered and made you suffer, because women suffer; some women suffer; a woman suffered; a woman suffers. Sometimes I can hear their steps in the dark while they go away.
