Why?

What words can we say,

To let you know just how sorry we are,

When you don't even let us,

Catch our breath?

Are there even words,

To express just how far,

Our beliefs fell?

Perhaps it's just me here,

Lacking breath,

Lacking strength,

Lacking love,

But I know you are affected too.

How do you not show it?

I lay in bed this morning,

Trying to make sense of where I am,

Trying to remember why I should get up,

Why I should care today,

And the one reason I normally have,

It didn't come to me,

It had abandoned me.

I have now lost everything,

My reason for living,

It's just gone.

So tell me why I should get out of bed tomorrow,

Or the next day?

So that you can try for my heart,

Once again.

I still love you,

Just don't let me go.
