I Don't Understand

I Don't Understand

A Poem by Elizabeth Fiske
"

Sometimes when love leaves you in a flash, you're stuck not understanding what has happened...

"
I don't understand
Why love dies so young.

I don't understand
Why "happily ever after" ran away.

I don't understand
Any love song I've sung.

I don't understand
Why I even try.

Why is life trying to break me?

Why couldn't life just let us be?

Why?

You were:
My heart,
My soul,
My everything.

Why can't I....

Why can't I...

Why does life want me to die?

It was hard enough,
Falling in love.

It was hard enough,
Getting myself out of the hole I dug.

It was hard enough,
Not saying what I needed to say.

It was hard enough,
Watching us fade away.

I need to get away.

I need to sing a different song.

I need to find another way.

I need to move on.

Why are you now just a memory?

Why can't I just live in my dreams?

Why?


You were:
My life,
My love,
My only one.

Why can't I...

Why can't I...

Why can't I...

Just be with you?


I don't understand.
