THE EMPIRE
THE FATHER
There's people you can not disappoint,
because if you do,
you will never forgive yourself.
THE MOTHER
I look at you and I see myself,
like in front of a mirror.
And I don't know if I like that
or it scares me to death.
THE COOL AUNT
You make it look so easy,
to be always there, side by side,
although it may rain during all of our lives.
THE SISTER
Sometimes there is a burden
you have to carry with,
all your fucking life.
Like a sister, for example.
THE SOULMATE
We where born to be together,
like the moon
belongs to the sky,
we belong together.
THE EX-HUSBAND
— Fuck you.
— Fuck you too.
— Maybe fuck will be our always.
THE CHILDREN

You’ll do things for them that you know you shouldn’t do.
You’ll act the fool to make them happy, to keep them safe.
Love no one but your children. On that front, a mother has no choice.
