There's only two answers to my question,
never spoken by any.
I've seen them try;
the words barely hitting sense into them.

I wish they would see
how I've never left
                        the pain,
               the cries,
  the angst;
             it's all too real.
They'd never find
a key to open,
to t

n,
     to t
            w
          i
       s
    t
       the lock on the chest
where all answers remain,
                         dusty and abandoned.

      Only two,
         yet they've been blinded
by selfish desires
   like myself.
I refuse to see them
drowning in unnecessary lies of life;
       beautiful lies,
in which I have disappeared into
long, long ago.

They've  f

                           e
                               n,
   and I was too late
to hear
              their answers.

My question remains
           wilting,
dying,
          withering.

With two answers hanging,
        b  u  z  z  i  n  g
losing its nectar,

for a question needs answers—
         but the two drifted with the wind
left
   undiscovered.
