My friend My Son



Why did you leave me
Where did you go
You left so sudden
All my dreams left without me to know

Know what to do
Know what to say
Why did you leave me
My heart aches bubbles of life gone

Gone to the wilderness
Wilderness of love gone wrong

Where did you go my dear son
I'll always need to know

But I'll love you through the pain
Love you through the storm
Where did you go my son
Your mom really needs to know

I love you

About this poem

My son committed suicide and I'm lost. I left home and am living in a homeless shelter down south falling apart to be honest. I'm sorry but it's true. Please keep me in your thoughts
