You were always on my mind
I hurt you
in all the places you loved me,
dear mother,
I’m sorry.
Been using my tongue
to cut through the demons in my head,
been trying to hide
the monster I’ve become.
I don’t want to bring shame to your name,
dear mother,
I’m sorry
for the person I am
and can’t stop being,
for letting myself go blind
when you were always on my mind.
Words can only do so much,
dear mother,
I’m sorry,
so I’ll gather the tears, the pain I gave,
keep them in my chest, be brave.
