Why? Poem by Terence George Craddock (Spectral Images and Images Of Light)

I do not know why!
All I know is I love you.
I am so tired!
Living here alone lost
suffering without you.

I do not know why?
All I know is I miss you.
What of tomorrow?
There are too many sleepless
tomorrows without you.

I do not know why?
Sky is bright but I am blue.
I do not know why?
You pine at home alone
without me too.

I do not know why?
A fine house wealth are nothing.
I do not know why?
I do not meet her forever greet her
forever wearing my ring?

Yet in a way that is a lie.
Yet in a way I do know why.
You are a mother cannot be a lover.
Your first foremost forever.
Your children's mother.
