Why Her Mother Cries

She weeps softly for a long lost love who she tries her best not to think of; Her summer of joy proved to be so costly - For a long lost love, she weeps softly. He simply disappeared without a goodbye; She hadn’t yet told him of what grew inside. By a single parent their daughter was reared; Without a goodbye, he simply disappeared. She wakes to a reminder of their unbridled lust, in the face of their daughter who is in her trust. Buried deep in regret you can often find her; Of their unbridled lust, she wakes to a reminder. The daughter now knows why her mother cries; Why emptiness was always in her eyes. For a ghost who hovers where a past wind blows - Why her mother cries, the daughter now knows.
