Where were you?

Where were you,
In my hour of need? Here?
There? Certainly not where
You were needed,
Most of all, you left me.
Alone.
 
Where were you,
When I needed you?
Your skills. Your cunning. Your wit.
Your courage, to give me strength.
I needed you, but where were you?
There.
 
Where were you,
In my final battle?
Against reality and life.
Where were you,
When I needed you most? Gone
Forever.
 
Now, it is you who need I.
