We were in love

We were in love

Why'd you leave?
I ask this every day
I never get an answer back
I still ask anyway

We were so close
I loved you so much
I guess in the end
It wasn't enough

I held you tight
I never wanted to let go
I felt you slipping away
I told myself it wasn't so

You promised you'd never leave
I thought you'd never lie
But in the end
It was you that chose goodbye

I still cry for you
I can't believe you're gone
Was it something I did?
Did I say something wrong?

You told me you loved me
You said you'd cry if I left
But in the end
It was only I that wept

I asked if it was my fault
You said, "it's not you, it's me"
I replay these words
But I still don't believe

Where did it go wrong?
You said it would always be us
When it was you and I
We were so in love

Why'd you leave?
I still ask this every day
I never get an answer back
I still ask anyway

Stirring the old pot of memories there. Breaking up is hard to do. Oh, that old line "its not you its me," man what a heartbreaker and a ball breaker. A cop out really, a sense of false matydom. To make people feel better about the fact they have just sccoped out your heart. Making out like they have done you a favour. Plain old cop out.

Loss is such a hard concept to wrap our heads around. I was just explaining to my daughter last night that sometimes we have to say goodbye when we really don't want to. She's young and didn't understand, but I think that even as adults it's not something we can truly understand, just more something we learn to cope with.

Your rhyming and rhythm are well executed, it's a very simple and honest poem asking the questions that we are all plagued by when we feel a connection is severed prematurely.

Thank you for sharing.
