Mother do you know how
All of this has changed us?
I was a fool who
Would always defend you
Was I wrong to like the other
Sisters and brothers abandon?
Forgive my living
Keep me from breathing
A house that is standing
Is no house at all
Mother is it easy
Knowing that I will die soon?
Will you keep me as ashes
Placed on the mantel or thrown out?
Mother do you know now
Love is not painless it’s poison?
Forgive my living
Keep me from breathing
A house that is standing
Is no house at all
