A disparaged mother who has given up on life, chooses her daughter over her own relief.

583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDa1x7VApu

I stand at the river’s edge

I lean over the bridge’s ledge.

I put my leg over the wall,

Death will follow after this fall.

583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7skaLmhkmx

I bring my other leg over,

I think about my little Clover.

The little girl I’ll leave behind,

Paints sad images in my mind.

583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzgsexz4A4

She’ll be just fine without me,

No one needs me except she.

I know that she can find her way,

I hope she’ll understand some day.

583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFHGwHgMY2

The world will be a better place,

Where no one has to see my face.

I’m just a waste of oxygen,

But she won’t know her origin.

583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfchw6Ye0o8

She’ll be an orphan, all alone,

While I’m buried, made of bone.

She won’t need me, my little Clover,

But I can’t do it, because I love her.
