Without a word

The thought of living

without you

never crossed my mind.

That's why it hurts

so much, I guess.

Why didn't you

ever let me know

that one day

you'd leave me

without warning?

But anyway,

I can't blame you.

It was my fault—

I shouldn't have

clung to you

I shouldn't have

loved you more than myself.

Why did you leave me

without a word, without a trace?

Did you ever think of the silence

you'd leave in your absence?

Why did you not tell me,

or give me a sign,

that the love I thought was endless

was fading, slipping, gone?

Was I not enough to stay for?

Did you grow tired of me

before I could even feel it—

before I could see it coming?

How could you leave,

with no explanation, no reason,

like a dream that fades at dawn—

without a goodbye, without a clue?

Did you ever love me

the way I loved you?

Or was I just another chapter,

another passing moment

you never planned to finish?

Now I'm left to wonder—

Why did you leave me?

And why was I the last to know?
