Back and forth I go
O’er every word you wrote
Something in your letters must have
Told me that you’d go.
Every word you said
Whirls inside my head
There must have been clues that I’d lose you
But instead, I remain
Alone with our boy
Our pride and joy
I know that you loved him
but still you have dubbed him
The one with the family destroyed, distraught
After all you taught him
and fun that you brought in
You’ve left us here alone
In the house that you built me
But now I am guilty
How could I not have known?
While demons devoured you
The child you were proud to
Be God to
Lived on, unknowing
That soon you’d be going.
