Dawn of sorrow

I will have to go only
where i had left
my loved ones.
Had separated myself
from their grief.

Now those
i thought my own
are leaving me
as if they can be happy
only without me.

What else can i do now
except repentence
because i myself
had shown the way.

It can not be imagined
the tradition which has begun
will lessen
the happiness of how many
but it is certain that
sorrow will never be shared.
