Why?

A poem I had written 1/18/18.

It's been a while since you've been gone
Even now, I'm still trying my best
To move on

Weeks have passed by,
But I still feel alone
I don't want to think about
Anybody else but you

I also think, "Why?"
Why couldn't you have realized
That so many people cared about you
And loved you
Why did you have to do what you did

And leave us here alone?

When I look at the stars
I think of you.
I visualize your smile
And the shine in your eyes

And I wonder, who ever told you these lies
That you'd never be worth it, and no one would care if you cried?

You didn't deserve it. No one who's been through this ever does.
The pain I'm feeling right now
Feels worse than any other pain.

Even today, right now,
I remember your face
Before you left
And now I desperately wish
That I could erase this memory

Erase your tormentors

Erase that day

....Why can't I....?

it is a very meaningful poem for me because it talks about the difficulty one has to bear when it is the time to move on, all the hurts and pains are being described in this poem so for me it is a well written one
