Mamma! I Wish I Could Come Back Home

*(A lonely mother grieves a lullaby to herself, in memory of her son, who got lost by the river of no return. It’s been five years since his absence, but this clueless mother waits everyday by the river for his return)* O’ apple of my eye Jewel to my heart Why did you leave To the point of no return You took my love along Leaving me alone With these sad dreams And the flashbacks that followed My love still shines like the red star In the southern sky While I lay awake Praying him to watch over you So, when you feel cold, He’ll burn and gift you warmth And when you feel scared He will light your path I am still mad at you For leaving me alone How can you possibly leave Without even a goodbye?! I still make your favourite *‘appam’* Hoping for your return When even the wind that left Returns, why won’t you?! I started loving you even before you came So, I won’t stop loving you even while you are gone Because, when it comes to you Love is all I have…
