:34:00
you were the prettiest.
:34:03
And you needed to seduce me
:34:06
and I needed to be seduced.
:34:10
I was very lonely,
:34:11
your mother was often in hospital
:34:14
and that made it easy for you.
:34:17
I've loved you madly
:34:20
all these years.
:34:23
Your sister has cut herself off
:34:26
while you have blossomed.
:34:28
More aggressive each day,
:34:31
more insolent, caustic, cold,
:34:34
superficial...
:34:37
Even so,
I couldn't help but cherish you.
:34:42
Now, I feel a rage towards you
:34:45
that I cannot put out,
:34:46
even with my body in tatters.
:34:49
I burn with anger
:34:51
in the face of your evil rebellion.
:34:55
I'm guilty
because it was me who urged
:34:57
my little girl to be proud.
:35:02
And I was so fond of your pride.
:35:07
Like curdled milk,
your pride has turned into sour vanity.
:35:12
Your pride has become a stupid
:35:15
affectation.
:35:18
Today,
you're bursting with bitterness,
:35:21
my child, just like me.
:35:25
You're my daughter all right.
:35:29
You think your dry laugh conceals
:35:32
your delight?
:35:34
You're delighted
because pride makes you weak
:35:37
but your bitterness
gives you formidable power.
:35:41
You were so submissive.
:35:44
Until I discovered
your submission hid
:35:47
an iron will and an envy
:35:50
that struck terror into my heart.
:35:52
I fear you.
:35:55
I hate you,
:35:57
my little girl.
