Why

I don't understand why we couldn't stay together. Why did he say he loved me? Why did we think it was ok? Why did he pick me? But most of all Why did she tell everyone? Why am I the one that's alone? Why am I haunted with shame? What I understand most is Why do I have to pretend I'm fine? Why my life will go on and his won't Why none of it was real.

Dear Amelia, Your poem peaks volumes about the confusion and pain of heartbreak. Your raw honesty and vulnerability shine through each line, capturing the turmoil of unanswered questions and lingering emotions. It's okay to not have all the answers, to feel lost and haunted by shame. But remember, your strength lies in acknowledging your feelings and allowing yourself to heal. Your resilience will guide you through, and the pain will ease one day. With Empathy. - Blessings, Daniel
