Would you sing me a lullaby
like when I was a child?
You gave me everything I have
and still I’d like to ask for more.
I wish I could tell you
just how much
it hurts
to carry
the heavy weight of
this thing we can’t discuss.

Please, please let me in.
I hope one day
you’ll look into her eyes
if for a moment,
and see how in her loving stare
the whole world starts
making sense.

Please, please let me in.
Mother,
I need your warm embrace.
