Do not embrace me

Mother
Do not embrace me
Leave me alone
Let me weep alone
In this my little corner
Let me weep.

My tears are mine
Mine alone
Let them flow
Gently, mother,
Gently as a dream
That moves a child to smile.

I do not love to weep
But tears are made to be shed
So let me weep
For the yesterdays are no more
Will never be.

And whom can I blame?

None, mother.
I blame myself
For struggling to do so well
In seconds for that designed for days
That I failed and fell  into the dust.

So Let me weep, mother,
Let me weep alone.
