Why? Poem by Zoe Forsyth

Why do you have to go… why?
Why can’t you stay?
Why can’t you stay with us?
Were your best friends… so why do you have to go? Why?
We want you to stay, can’t you see?
Please stay…
We love you, so please, please stay,
Why just tell us why you have to go?
We don’t care if you’re closer to home that way,
We just want you to stay,
So please stay,
Stay with us,
Don’t go…
Don’t leave us,
Please stay,
Don’t go…
Please,
Don’t… *She left*
Please come back,
Please just come back,
Please, please come back…
We miss you,
We miss you so… so much,
We want you back
So please come back
Why won’t you listen?
Why won’t you come back?
Why won’t you come back to us?
Please… just please come back
Don’t you remember?
What we were gonna do in year 12 when we graduate?
So please come back?
Please listen
Why won’t you listen?
Why?
Why?
Why…
