why did you appear in my life,
and made me care for you
like a bird with broken wings,
nestled in my hands,
n my arms.

why did you care the way you did?
to stir the stillness in my heart.
your company like the warmth that i've lost.
your concern mending all that was broken

why did we get so close?
that we saw each other every other day,
our messages teasing and joking,
many memories in many places that we chose to make.

why did we tug the strings of our heart?
till our breaths matched in the still of the night.
our hands intertwined and tangled
unlocking as they brush through our hair.

why did we go that much further?
that we spoke words so tender and beautiful,
our lips caressed in sin,
my hands slipping down your dress.

why did you choose to change?
for fear of where this may lead,
you faded away from us,
failing to speak but rather to hide deeper in the unknown.

why did you break me apart?
a lover to a friend and now an acquaintance,
scowling at every step I took.
while I looked up at the pedestal you stand.

why am I the lovestruck fool?
trying to salvage things from this wreck,
my concern not worthy of your time,
yet you're taking all that you can.

why? ame. why?
