[verse 1]
it’s my fault
no one has said it outrightly
but the way she skirts
around the valley of blame
makes for a poor imitation
of a mother who trusts

[verse 2]
those of love hurt the same
when one must stab the other;
mother only cries of anger

[verse 3]
no silver tongue can fool her once
she thought me a liar
and so learnt to be deaf
hearing now nothing
other than stubborn thoughts

[verse 4]
i take my time in the mirror
and practice saying the sounds i crave
“it’s not your fault”
“i’m proud of you”
“i love you”
perhaps mother is deaf and dumb
[verse 5]
to cry can be to plead
and to me they are often the same
my pillows hold me how i hold them
and they wipe away my tears
like how mother should do

[verse 6]
alas
mother only cries of anger
how should she know how her words
—both unspoken and shouted—
sting?

[verse 7]
it’s not her fault
i pity her
and her anger
and her stubbornness
and her silence
it’s not her fault
therefore, it must be mine

[outro]
it’s not her fault
therefore, it must be mine
