Mother Dearest (Forgive Me Mother)

Mother1 dearest,
I graciously ask for your forgiveness,
because of that traitorous woman,
I have forsaken you.
 
And so you see mother,
with the bad hand that I've been dealt
only you understand me,
only you have loved me.
 
I come back to you, mother
to cry in your arms
and if possible, to heal
my broken soul2.
 
This one goes out to you, mother dearest.
 
I have everything by your side;
a pure and sincere love,
and nevertheless mother -
she's insincere, and I love her.
 
The way that you love me
woe is me and lost,
I love her anyway
and I can't hate her.
 
I come back to you, mother
to cry in your arms
and if possible, to heal
my broken soul.
 
  • 1. lit. 'little mother', a term of endearment.
  • 2. my soul broken into pieces
