A poem concerning my desire to know where my loved ones are who are no longer with us.

Where are, where are they?
Where did they go, why can’t I see them
I want to see them
Do I believe the lies that I’m told
That I’m not supposed to know
Where are they, where did they go
If each ones existance is their own creation
Then what were they in my existance for
Why was I in their’s
Do we get points for understanding
Where are they, where did they go
Is it just that the more we learn
The fewer times we have to return
They want me to believe, some returned
How outlandish is that
Where are they, where did they go
But if that’s what they believe, then isn’t it so
But why the torture, why the pain
What’s wrong with this world
Is there no hope
Where are they , where did they go
Like a child I ask the questions
And like human adults you say “I don’t know”
Because you don’t want to think about it
You just live in the dark
Where are they, where did they go
You don’t want to wonder
If you’ll be punished
In a false hell or heaven
You don’t want to admit that there’s more
Where are they , where did they go
You don’t want to have to confront
The fact that this life is not all there is
Because you’re afraid, afraid of the unknown
But you are the unknown
Where are they, where did they go
No one really knows you
They just know the image you emit
You don’t know yourself, or the power within you
You’ll never understand
Where are they, where did they go?
