With frail bones you have traveled,
Walking with a limp that only speaks of age.

I did not ask for you to do this,
I did not ask for this sadness.

The words are all drowning inside.
I cannot find enough meaning.
My eyes can only leak
And the cigarette is burning,
I haven’t got much time.

It all sounds the same.

You have only showed kindness,
To my bitter characteristics.
If only I could understand
why I am so angry, why I am so sad.

I apologize, with every bit of strength I can.
I fear I may never be able to love you
As much as you have loved me.
I am so sorry, mother.
                       I am so sorry.
