Questions Asked.....Never Answered


I lay silently in bed

Rocking back and forth to the mellow crooning of a bird

I can’t sleep

Can’t keep you out of my mind

I remember how you left me

My heart is a gaping hole

Where you were

You took it from me, ripped it from my chest

And left me there to bleed and die

Why?

Was I not good enough for you?

Were you ashamed?

Please answer me

Why?

I’m so confused

I feel like I’m wandering through a never ending abyss

Where did it start? Where will it finish?

Who knows?

I don’t

I’m falling but why are you in my head?

Why can I not forget your face?

Why?

I ask questions

And I never know the answers

Why?

Do I really wanna know?

My mind is a blurry vision

With thoughts of what used to be us

Why?

Why would you take away something

That was yours already?

You stole candy from a baby

Helpless was I to do anything

What could I do?

But the question still remains

In my mind

Why?

Why can I not be your princess?

I still think of you as my Prince Charming

But it’s okay

I understand that the grass was greener

On the other side

Now the question is in my mind

Never to leave

I’m sure you know what it is

So I ask again

Why?
