Why did you go when I was gone?

Your memory was failing, but I could still see that proud soul in your eyes.
For a brief moment your cold hands felt warm. Was it your way of saying goodbye?
This would be the last time I could see your marvelous toothless smile,
and you were continuing to ask about grandpa - Why aren't the dead-ones allowed to have a phone number?

Tears are streaming down inside, want to feel them along my cheeks.
I want to scream but the emptiness that's were you should be possess no melody.
Everything that is left when I get back home is memories and a handloom.

Why did you go when I was gone?
