Why?

Why? The darkness closes in. The weight settles. The wind screams in agony. It echos my heart. You will not reurn. I know this, You cannot return. Yet I wait. In the stillness of night Pain rages like a hurricane, Tearing my soul in two. I cannot be healed. I sit by the door Listening for the sound Of your key in the lock, Jumping with hope at every sound. I cry. I scream with indignant sorrow. The injustice, the cruelty You are gone. Yet in the shadows I weep, Hope without reason. I know you will never Be here with me again. How could you go? How could you leave me here, At a time I needed you most? Yet you cannot answer. I realize it's done. All we had is dust, Blown away by the winds of the past. Insignificant to all...except me. I sleep restlessly, if at all, And dream of your touch. Your voice echos in the bedroom. I hear you again! I wake, laughing with joy, And jump up to hold you, And never let you go. But you are gone. I glimpse you standing in the doorway, As you have a thousand times before And I turn to you... And you're gone. Every time I hear you And every time I dream of you I wake, rapture flooding my soul... Only to lose you again. And here I stand, The storm beating, crashing My tears unseen in the pouring rain, As I stare at your name. I cannot understand. How will I go on? And the question, unanswered, Will always remain. Why?
