Why?
By Jessa Alvarez

Alone in the dark, so cold.
I'm so lost and oh so bold.
I'm badly longing for your warm embrace,
Yet, I can't find even a bit of your trace.

I wasn't aware that I was about to lose you,
Not to say, I thought your love was so true.
You didn't even warn me that you're about to flee
I considered everything fine and accepted it all with glee.

The eminent sun is shining brightly on me,
You then acted as a cloud to cover me up and keep me comfy.
But no! Your grounds was to never show me what was real.
Trying to isolate and segregate me from what I think and feel.

You gave me almost everything I wanted
Because you wanted me to feel so loved and appreciated
But then again, no! It was because you were just covering up all your transgressions
And it was never to save me from dejection.

I was wrong to assume of what were your intentions.
I've learned it the hard way, and that's what I call lesson!
I made myself think that everything you did was for my benefit
But I was off beam all the time, and nothing you did was for my profit

But alas!!! I've acknowledged everything
We really aren't meant for each other, and I have to stop lamenting
I know I have to let go, coz we can't give it anymore another try.
Just snoop on to this carefully: I LOVE YOU AND GOODBYE.
