A Mother's Love

Where no one can see, where no one can hear, my heart is beating

So hard it hurts

No one saw me, no one has realized that I've escaped

The coldness from the hard stonewalls doesn't bother me

The difficult decision that lies before me weigh heavily upon my shoulders.

A possibility of a fate far worse?

Darkness and anxiety increase

And sharpen my senses

The evening dew makes the air do damp

And cold, allowing my breath to create tiny, white veils that surround

Me or is it something else?

Sense a presence that doesn't

Scare my heart's not pounding anymore, calmness rinses through

My body and I clasp my hands, collecting myself in hopes for an answer

I cry out to you, like I've done many times before

I hope you listen to my prayer tonight

I'm in desperate need of help

I can't decide all by myself

The crossroad's here, which path shall I stride?

I've been watching you since the day that I died

Can you not feel my love just breeze by your side?

But I can not help you to make that choice 'cause your destiny is sealed

My heart, my son

How can I go back? Meeting just pain and misery

No one should live the life that I do

But what will wait ahead?

Maybe something even worse?

God! Try to see it from my point of view

I've been watching you since the day that I died

Can you not feel my love just breeze by your side?

But I can not help you to make that choice 'cause your destiny is sealed.

My heart, my son

Life is not fair, I should have told you all along from the start

You have to go back, he needs your help, he is your father

There's no choice

He'd do it for me
