My Shorts 2019 - 5. MS19 - Punishment (a Poem)

Written in response to a dear friend breaking up with his girlfriend. A shoulder to cry on and a six-pack of beer later, he was doing fine, but I felt compelled to try to capture that emotion.

Farewell to the Light of my world
When tears came, where were you?
Loneliness is my lot in life,
Punishment for my soul.

But why am I being punished?
What have I done to you?
We have one specific moment,
And mine passed in silence.

Thanks to @AC Benus and his Zero to Hero, poetry tutorial.
