The times we had,
the times we shared
were the best time

Dear mother of mine
Was I ever worth your time?
My fragile heart yearns for your unconditional love
A feeling that I'm deprived of
Why can't you love me and accept me for who I am?
I always try my hardest; I do the best I can.
Can't you see how sad I've been?
The way you treated me must have been a sin.
Please don't shut me in
Don't hide me from the treasures buried
deep within the world,
Don't bring me down with destruction
I gave you a chance, let you in and tried to be your friend.
I should have known, you wouldn't be there in the end.
I wanted you to love me, I waited for so very long.
