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

618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmc7kCveVi6

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.

618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRlUT419ln

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.

618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPIBO9usE2

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.

618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcQIqlXvAa

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.

618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLAE4NTVXm

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.
