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
