My childhood was full of dead ends and broken dreams.
After a while, you stop expecting anything from anyone.
At least that way, you may spare the pain from your aching heart.
Tomorrow will be better, I guess.
If I could change it all... Then would I?
What good would it do? The pain had to stop for one of us.
I really never wanted her to die.
Tomorrow seems unbearable.
Still, every single footstep haunts me.
Still, each breath I took surrounds me.
How could she leave us like this?
Today I am numb.
They can wash the walls and change the sheets.
I do hope this place gets a second chance, unlike us.
It was too late for mum and I.
Today I feel anger.
I was a good son and what we had was precious.
She was a good mum, in her own way.
How could I do this to her?
Yesterday brings me sadness.
She was so damaged, for so long.
If the crying never ends, then how can the pain stop?
Oh mother what have I done?
For yesterday, I have remorse.
This is for I, one who misses a parent.
This is for I, one who misses a sister.
This is for I, one who misses a friend.
Sincere best wishes
