WHY? (an original poem)

in GEMS4 days ago

WHY?



Why did you leave without saying goodbye?
Didn't you say you wouldn't let me cry?
For my sake, you'd hold on to your life
But why did you let go? Why?
Walking an endless road barefoot didn't matter
I wanted to traverse this cruel world together
I wanted to explore the deepest sea
Together... just you and me
My heart fluttered when you promised
Savored every word and drowned as we kissed
But why? Why did you leave without saying goodbye?
The day you left... my heart also died
