You stood there crying,
I could no more console.
You wanted me to hug you,
But then I lied helpless.
You hugged me though,
And I felt the same warmth then.
But see how I lie,
I no more smile,
I don't cry, but I do feel the pain,
The pain of being taken away,
Before I could utter a word.
No questions asked,
No permissions seeked,
And for the final time,
I alone had to travel the path.
