• The cool fall air danced around her.
    The leaves and dust joined, slowly
    Circling her as she thought “how could
    You leave me without saying goodbye?
    You know I loved you, so please love, please tell me why.”

    The moon, shining like a diamond, was almost full.
    Dozens of stars twinkled against a dark ebony sky.
    Standing over his grave, a small tear in her eye,
    Again and again she asked herself this,
    “How could you leave me? Did you have to die?”
