BecauseLove
To her, he is her world
To him, she is just his mother.
He does not know her life.
She keeps silent.
Scared of what he might think,
She keeps silent.
He has had it all, because of her
She keeps silent.
Never thanking her,
Never acknowledging her.
She cries herself to sleep.
She keeps silent.
Him over her... always.
She keeps silent.
She sells herself.
Never wanting him to worry.
She keeps silent.
He continues to grow.
Nothing has changed.
She keeps silent.
He visits her less and less.
She cries herself to sleep.
She keeps silent.
Her time has come.
He arrives for the last time.
She can no longer keep silent.
A tear comes down his cheek,
He asks why?
She answers,
"Because I love you."
