Why
Tears fallen in solemn places
With questions why you left,
Even with the threats
Why didn’t you fight for the most important part of your life?
A mystery remains
Brewing in lonely corners
Familiar to that very deep loss
Unrepairable
Dividing the soul from everyday life
Hidden places to hide
No-where is safe
I know you remember
Because you couldn’t face home anymore
So it sat empty, as you looked at it from nearby
An empty house reflecting two empty hearts
Taken over by pain
Father and daughter…
Lack of resolution unexplainable remains
Because you finally left by natural death
Leaving the callings behind, why, why, why?
