I used to come home late, my eyes rimmed with sleepless nights and my cheeks stained with tears and I would tug at God’s sleeve and beg for help and he would say “later” but later never came and I swear that God reminds me of my mother sometimes.

God, or.. my mother
I used to come home late, my eyes rimmed with sleepless nights and my cheeks stained with tears and I would tug at God’s sleeve and beg for help and he would say “later” but later never came and I swear that God reminds me of my mother sometimes.
