Why?

By: Charlie Shingler

I sit here in this quiet place wondering why,
Why you did what you did.
Why you had to lie.

Why you cause me so much pain,
And you broke my heart.
You knew deep down that I would love you forever,
And I would never do you no harm.
So, I just have to ask. Why?

So now I have to ask myself,
Why did you do it?
Why did you hurt me like you did-
Why did you end something that was so special?

Not a day goes by that I don't think of you,
And the countless times I said that I love you.
But now inside me there is emptiness and pain,
From what you did to me that day.

And the only thing I want to ask,
The main thing that is on my mind.
It is just one simple word,
And that word is...
Why?
