The Three Letter 'Why'

This explains the question why Why is what that comes to my mind Why you took a knife and ran to my back Why you left I don't know either why you came back Or because there's something you left back? Its a question with a hard answer to find This explains the question why After years of being away Staying without you I had to sustain Now you calling back, so what? To accept you back?what for? When you're back will I still experience the pain? This explains the question why Mom you have been away,but why? What facilitated your departure from home? Is it my fault that I don't know your second name? Or is it an action for someone to take a blame on? Its becoming a bitter herb for me to swallow alone This explains the question why You got me thinking this much Do you have another family of your own? Or you meditated and enjoyed life alone Accepting you back is a question I do not have an answer for My love to you melted like snow in summer
