Is it because I didn't talk to you enough?
Is it because I didn't treat you well enough?
Is it because I didn't give you enough of my time?
Is it because you never wanted to be mine?

Is that why? Is that why you had to leave me?
Is that why? Is that why you had to go?

Is it because things are getting too hard for you?
Is it because you felt I couldn't comfort you?
Is it because you didn't want to burden me?
Is it because you just wanted what was best for me?

Is that why? Is that why you had to leave me?
Is that why? Is that why you had to go?

Is it because you knew we weren't meant to be?
This here is a little poem that came from the top of my head one night two months ago while thinking about music. I had to urge to write it down while I still had the idea in my head.

It's one of those poems that focuses on the aftermath of a breakup between two close friends. The lyrics were mostly influenced by Pink Floyd's "Mother" from their famous musical extravaganza "The Wall" (1979). I didn't want to be too specific about the couple in question; heterosexual or homosexual, interspecies or not, it's all up to your imagination.
