Aama

Aama, this is your daughter
writing to you,
Don't you worry I am always there for you.
I left you alone, I made you cry,
I wanna say sorry, but today I am late.
Gone are the days when I was with you,
can't be that little you took to school.
Aama, I have seen your eyes through those glasses,
They seem to speak to me of endless miseries.
You went through a lot,
But that's not what the point is about.
I left you alone, I made you cry.
I have been selfish, today I can see .
Gone are the days when I was with you.
Can't be that girl who held your hand when she was scared.
Aama, I have heard through the sound of your voice,
Of all the grievances you have in your heart.
You never spoke of them.
But that's not what gives me pain.
I left you alone, I made you cry.
I wanna sorry but today I am late.
Gone are the days when I was with you.
Can't be your little girl again.
