Why Did You Leave?

Just when I though it would all get better.

You made my depression dissappear. You made everything ok.

You healed me, my heart. Up until today, everything was fine.

Why did you leave?

I couldn't survive. The gaping hole in my chest wouldn't let me.

I was like a fish out of water, a mother who had lost her child.

I was dying inside, and you merely overlooked it.

Why did you leave?

You're a thousand miles away from me now.

Gone for a month, a thin line of communication.

One mistake, that's all it took.

Why did you leave?

Maybe I should have let you go. 

Maybe I shouldn't have.

Maybe I needed to stop you.

Why didn't you stay?
