Forgive Me Mother

The time will come to join you,
The moment of reconciliation is near,
I cannot bear your absence anymore,
When will my time be here?
You cannot take me,
Even though I am ready to come,
I'm so guilty and remorseful,
Waiting to join you is tiresome.
 
I want to vanish from my hopeless dreams,
It’s time to the end of my forlorn illusions;
 
I know suicide is forbidden,
Every day I live I am saddened.
 
Through my fault,
Through my own fault,
Through my own most grievous fault,
Forgive me,
Forget all the worries I beseeched with,

I am here still but not there,
I loved you yet I troubled you,
Yet you were always there for me,
Full of compassion and love so true!
 
The time will come to reach you,
Mother beloved be patience and wait,
I will come as soon as I can,
Hoping you’ll be there by death’s gate.
