If my mum has taught me anything
It's that you can't let death
Take the light out of life.
She told me that when father passed
She was waiting for an impossibility
She told me she was waiting for his return
And in her mind she knew for certain.

So she sat in sadness till I reached adulthood
And I spent my childhood
Watching my mum struggle day by day
And I would still enforce our family tradition
That 'I love you's' are shown in silent actions.
The darkness of death
Leaves the light in anyone
Feeling indebted to a soul
That no longer roams the Earth.
I chose to live,
Even in the darkness of the world,
Sitting in the corners of shadows approaching
**I chose to live
