Cherished

Tonight, I sleep inside my own body
For child, you kept me in the old country
I leave you with nourishment, prayers for the journey
May happiness come with this
May you ever flourish
Tonight, I tear apart the tapestry
Those years, I built you with my own body
No gratefulness comes from this, have i been so foolish?
So take from me, violently
I will suffer through it
Tonight, I sleep inside my own body
For child, you kept me in the old country
I leave you with nourishment, prayers for the journey
May happiness come with this
May you ever flourish
Tonight, I tear apart the tapestry
Those years, I built you with my own body
No gratefulness comes from this, have i been so foolish?
So take from me, violently
I will suffer through it
