WHY

This poem captures the reader asking why everything has happened to them, and why they "deserved" it

I seek the truth; I long to know,

But all you do is cast a shadow.

Your denials cut like a cruel knife,

Tearing apart the fabric of my life.

Joy slowly slips with each passing day;

You’ve taken my laughter and turned it to gray.

In the wreckage, I ask with a heart full of pain,

You’ve ruined it all�"tell me, why must I remain?

Each whispered promise hangs in the air,

A fragile hope wrapped in despair.

The days stretch long, like shadows at dusk,

Filling my heart with doubt and mistrust.

Where once was light, now darkness seeps,

As silence suffocates the secrets it keeps.

I search for answers, yet find only void,

In the chaos of feelings I once enjoyed.

Memories taunt me, both bitter and sweet,

Familiar faces that I long to greet.

Yet every smile feels like a cruel jest,

A reminder of love that’s been put to rest.

In this maze of sorrow, I wander alone,

Haunted by echoes of a heart turned to stone.

With each step I take, confusion takes hold,

As the warmth of your presence grows distant and cold.

So here I stand, caught in this storm,

Yearning for strength, a place to be warm.

But the truth feels elusive, a fading refrain;

Tell me, amidst all this darkness, why must I remain?
