I won’t ask you for your forgiveness I don’t trust myself to do it differently, if I had it It is your blessing that I seek Would you give it to me Knowing that I lived my life Without a regard for yours And it’s only now that you occupy my thoughts I long to see you again And I thought about doing it Every now and then But, mother, you see Ought to be spared the pain Of having to outlive a second son Until then… I will keep the necklace they gave me close to my heart There is a part of you inside the capsule, that hangs It’s so small I can hold you in the palm of my hand, big brother

Your Blessing To Mourn
I won’t ask you for your forgiveness I don’t trust myself to do it differently, if I had it It is your blessing that I seek Would you give it to me Knowing that I lived my life Without a regard for yours And it’s only now that you occupy my thoughts I long to see you again And I thought about doing it Every now and then But, mother, you see Ought to be spared the pain Of having to outlive a second son Until then… I will keep the necklace they gave me close to my heart There is a part of you inside the capsule, that hangs It’s so small I can hold you in the palm of my hand, big brother
