The Questions in the Aftermath


How is it that you took a whole person and then shatter their being? How is it that you can make me the happiest and the saddest person in the universe? How is it that you are able to sleep at night when I can't close my eyes without seeing you leave? How is it that you became so heartless when you were so loveing? How is it that you walked away unscathed, when you left me sitting in a pool of my blood and tears? How is it that you took the time to learn to wright my name in a language that exists only in a book but you cant seem to pick your phone up to tell me that you were thinking of me and that you missed me? How is it that you are so oblivious to my dedication to even the idea of you? How is it that you left? How is it that you now know you will never see me again, unless you traverse the globe? How is it that you now know you werent enough to keep me here?
