Why?

As I stand there
At the end of the hall
Looking on
To see, you

Emotion overcomes
I feel like screaming out
But the expression on your face
Is so, apologetic

Why did you leave
Before anyone could say good-bye?
Why, did you hurt so many people?
Do you know how much grief
You have brought?

I break down
I fall to my knees
I realize
You didn't come back,
To torture me with questions

This is that time
That time I missed
The time I wanted
The time you never gave me

As your image fades
A slight echo rings
"Sorry"
And then,
And then it made sense

A single word
Is more than one thinks
A single word,
Can mean a life

A life that was taken
So suddenly
So unwanted

So as I kneel here
At the end of the hall
In darkness
I cry
