Longing

Why did you have to go?
What made it necessary
For you to leave me here
Alone and wishing to be
Wherever you have gone.

Where are you now?
You left this sphere
For where, my love?
You sojourn there away from me,
But just where is there?

And now, I must raise a son
Away from his mother whom
He needs so dearly.
I must show him the world
Which he has already seen too much of.
How is this okay? How is this fair?

And why can't I hold you one last time?
