It Wasn'T Fair

I hear you whisper, but you're not there.
Your voice, melodic, floats on air.
I don't understand why you chose to leave.
My heart, rendered, alone it grieves.
Life was painful and oft unkind
but I never imagined what you had in mind.
I don't understand why you chose to leave
the life you had. Did you believe
death was better ... safer... more kind?
I never imagined what you had in mind.
I hear you whisper, but you're not there.
What you did to us... it wasn't fair.
