mother's revenge

mother,
i broke your heart
i made you cry.

was that why
you didn’t say goodbye
before leaving?

if buckets of tears
could compensate—
but it’s too late.

and now i walk
the path you walked.

if you had wanted revenge
just to let me know
how it hurts
you have it.

it’s my turn to cry, mother.

Didn't see this before. But I think I know what you're referring to and I'm so sorry. Guess history has a way of repeating itself, doesn't it? Or life coming full circle. A big hug, mesjay, and I'm sure your mother's spirit watches over you with great love and compassion.
