Punishment

Mel,

Why are you enduring this terrible loneliness,
that's deep inside ?

Are you punishing yourself ?

Is it because you believe that you killed me
on that operating table ?
And now, you don't feel worthy of having me ?

Can't you forgive yourself ?

Are you going to endure this terrible loneliness
                                                                   until you die ?
