Why...

The heartache
The tears
The sleeplessness at night
While I look at your picture and cry
I can only wonder why you had to say goodbye.

I have so many questions that will never be answered.
I have a wound that because of those unanswered questions will never heal.
The questions repeat themselves over and over…
The pain, and the tears, eventually put me to sleep.

Questions like
Do you cry at night?
Am I being stupid?
Do you even miss me at all
Or
Are you doing better because you don’t have me to worry for?

But I have one question that causes all this pain;

Why
Why did you think it meant you had to leave?
Why-
Why
Why…
