Mom,
The look in your eyes
Hurt
Disappointment
Anger
Your emotions aren't cryptic

I made a mistake
I'm sorry
I give my penance
But will that be enough?
My sins have me pinned.

The weight of regret heavy,
Remember when
I used to be your baby
Can I start a new?
Maybe its better without you...
Just know,
I will forever love you too.

This is my penance.
