I have spent the last 3 years trying
to understand
1095 days worth of questions
Like how you can still claim you love him?
How you can claim you just want his happiness?
When you're the reason it's gone

I blamed myself for a while
Thinking I caused this riff
That I broke your family apart
Since I wasn't the girl you really wanted him to marry

And I wanted to be that girl so badly
I wanted your acceptance and love
For you to call me your daughter in law
Or to congratulate us when he proposed
But you came at me with hate and bitters
Because to you I just won't ever be enough

This hung in my heart so heavy
That my love for your son could ruin your life
How could you let your feelings for me let you hate him?
And if you ask him you always have
From the moment he was born
Even he wasn't even enough for you

So 1095 days later I'm starting to realize
Any other mother would love a women
Who's seen the absolute worst in her child
And still stands by his side
Any other mother wouldn't be able to go
3 entire ******* years
Without saying she was sorry
That she was wrong.

I hope one day all that hate in your heart fades away
That you'll throw away your pride and love your oldest son
And his wife
That you'll appreciate how great our life without you had been
And how much you've cost yourself.
Words on 3 years that could have been better spent
