• She was staring into space

    focusing on nothing at all

    I asked her why

    She said because


    Her eyes were filled with tears

    Which trickled down her cheeks

    I asked her why

    She said because


    Her brow was heavy with sadness

    Her face etched with sorrow

    I asked her why

    She said because


    She knew that I was leaving

    She knew it broke my heart

    She asked me why

    I said because
