Why?

By Jet

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Darkness sweeps over me Leaving me alone. A shell of what I used to be With a heart like frozen stone. A cold and barren landscape A mere shadow of my life. Harsh reality with no escape Every word a twisted knife. In silent barren fields I wander without aim. Wondering how you got past my shields; Just how and when you came. You left my heart in pieces Lying shattered on the floor. Not a thought for me you left me here And walked right out the door. Why did you leave in such a rush? Were you afraid to see me cry? Afraid of what I'd try to do? When all I want is 'why'. Why you did the things you did. Why you felt you had to lie. Why you tore my heart to shreds. All I want to know is why.
