"Dearheart's Death"

Why did I have to find out?
Shouldn't I try to understand,
But I can only cry and pout.
I can't even manage to stand.

Why can't I stop the tears?
I wish I could have saved you,
But I knew not of your deadly fears.
I would've rushed to you, if I only knew.

Why did you leave me alone here?
You should've taken me alongwith.
I long to see you again, my dear.
Please can I smell you, even just a whiff?
