Robert Monologue from For All Time

From For All Time by Rita Wellman

male · anguished · 33 sec

I cannot stay now, Nanette. I couldn't bear it. It was hard enough for me before. What can I say to her, Nanette, when my own grief finds no comfort? Maurice was like my own son. He was the fruit of my own soul. Into him went all the spiritual love I had for Madame, the love which for fourteen years I had poured into him, and now he is gone. I cannot face her. I cannot face anyone. The world feels so empty without him, and I am left with this unbearable weight of sorrow. I thought I could be strong, but I am not. I am broken, and I cannot pretend otherwise. Please, just let me go.
