Why? Poem by maria laura balbuena

Why?



There are certain things left undone
Plans and dreams are both gone
I know there are lots of words left unspoken
which keep my heart so broken.

I always seek for the reasons, why?
Why it happened so suddenly,
Why did it stop so early,
Why did it had to end at that time
How I wonder why fate has been so unkind.

If only I can turn back time
Grabbing all the opportunities that were once mine
Taking all the chances there to mind
And ignore the “what if’s” and the “but’s” behind.

Hopelessly now, filled with so much of what might have been,
Searching for means to have you again
I know the wheels will keep on turning slowly,
inevitably revealing the toughest answers so clearly.
Do I have the courage to wait and live with a sigh?
Questions here and there, thinking over again, why?

A very nice poem that reaches its climax with the line: Do I have the courage to wait and live with a sigh?
