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?
