Wondering Why


White walls caving in-
With tears covering her hands,
She didn’t know where to begin……

As she threw herself to the ground
wondering why
he never stayed around
water of sadness
leaked from her eyes
running down her cheeks
thinking the words
"you never loved me"
when he came
he always left,
leaving without goodbyes
off to another state
of risking his life
smoking and drinking-
he was a mess
but right now she could care less
at night
she wonders why...
he chose to be the bad guy

  1. Oh my gosh! where do you get inspiration from? this was sooooooo heartbreaking! Emotional. . . I LOVED the last line! It feels like you (or whomever the narrator is) are crying FOR HIM,not because of him! . . . Or maybe I'm just looking at it wrong. What is it?
