Why? Poem by JJ Evendon

Why?



Why worry now that we are apart?
Why worry that we each have made a fresh new start?
Our lives once crossed and became intrinsically entwined,
now bear scars of a love that no longer binds.

Why worry that we shall never again share our deepest dreams?
Why worry as for us, life has moved on – or so it would seem?
Our hearts once beat to the rhythm of love,
now beat no more, like wings of a fallen dove.

Why worry things didn't go as we had planned?
Why worry that never again shall we hold each other's hand?
Once our smiles radiated for all to see,
now such memories are forgotten, for you, it's me.

Why worry that night brings no sleep?
Why worry that clothes laid now rest all in a heap?
Is it because this dream was set to die,
the very first time I asked the question WHY?
