Mom you smell like all the sacrifices you made for me and compromises you don't even deserve to make. it makes me want to love you even more but also kills me from inside. I feel I die a little every time I see you cry. I am a part of you but you feel so distant at times. Will my love ever make it up for all of it? Are you happy I am yours? Or do I burden you even more? Mom you feel like my favourite pillow but my heart sinks every time I lie on your lap. Can you hug me a little tighter and look for me with the same fondness. Why do I feel guilty for the things I haven't done? I love you too much to let you go is it a sin or virtue? Maa can I cry with you a little today? Stop putting a brave face on. You are allowed to be weak at least with me
