A mother's mistake


Mother
A vessel of boundless love
Will that love become her fatal flaw?
Within her embrace, a burden resides
Does a mother's love render her blind?
Hidden beneath her garments fold
A heavy heart yearns to be told
The silent tears of her offspring
The smiles masking their inner suffering
She longs for them to tread her path
But what of their desires? Their own souls wrath?
Their pleading eyes each passing day
Begging to be heard not led astray
Yet their pleas become scars that endure
Etching pain into their souls so pure
Will she be praised for love's devotion?
Or forever haunted by remorse potion?
The stain upon her garments remains
A reflection of her deepest pains
Will it be her eternal regret?
Or a lesson she'll never forget?
