• Rain pours down the window
    Of the graveyard of my home.
    Or is it my tears?
    Everything is blurred, my throat is closed up,
    My whole body feels numb, my ears are ringing
    From the echoes of my ceaseless sobs.
    My heart is torn in half.
    All I can feel is emptiness.

    Why did you have to leave me?

    Didn't flowers sprout wherever we walked?
    Didn't the sun shine on us both?
    Didn't the moon smile when the stars surrounded us?
    Didn't the birds sing around us,
    Yet you didn't hear because you were blinded by love?
    Did you ever taste honey when you spoke
    Those uncontrollable words?
    Was there not a smile on your face
    When the miracle of our lives hatched?
    Did you ever stop to realize how I felt?
    Or how I would in the future?

    You were my light.
    My thirst.
    My strength.
    My life.
    You were my love.

    Yet you walked out of the door, and the light of my heart blew out.
    Somehow I understood, seeing the badges that you wore on your chest
    And the pompous uniform that touched you with its protective fabric.
    Standing proud like a lion,
    Ready to spread open wings into the eternal sky like an eagle.
    That would soon be an angel's.

    You promised of return.
    That our love would be endless, ubiquitous.
    That we would share meals together,
    That we would raise our children
    And love our children's children, And their children too.
    That we would grow old together and love each other until we died.

    How dare you lie,
    Crush my hopes,
    And leave me to die alone?
