Why©

Sometimes, I am so perplexed by love and the loving of someone. It's puzzling to try and figure why something that feels so right can then so suddenly go wrong. There are no signs. Nothing to indicate things are wrong. It just suddenly just - ends....what do you do? You're left with one burning question...Why?

The questions still linger
long after you have departed
I need to understand
need to know
Why?
Why did we share funny stories
hang out and have fun
why did you kiss me so tenderly
hold my hand as if
~as if you loved me
Why?
Then, just as suddenly as you breezed in to my life
and made things so right
You were - gone....
No phone call or message
No good-bye
You were just - gone....
Why?
I'm still puzzled
left second guessing
left with the questions
~haunted
Why?
Was it something I said
Or did or didn't do
The questions still hang in the air
long after you have departed
I just can't seem to understand
all I'm left with are the questions
~haunted
Why?
You leave a path of emotional destruction
When you leave me in this way
I know it takes a lot of courage
to look someone square in the eyes
say it's over
then turn and walk away
But you leave a mark no matter
how much you don't want to face the facts
it's easier to run away from all the questions
it's easier to hide
Why?
All that's left now are the bittersweet memories
of the days of you and I
days I'll think about for awhile
close my eyes and share a smile
But just as good as those memories are for me
there are also the memories of what you failed to do
All you had to do was say it's over
put an end to me and you
All I have left are questions
unanswered questions
that I don't understand
~haunted
by what was and could have been
And all I can do is sigh and ask
Why?
