Why

I have looked behind doors
and beyond the words to
find much needed answers

A familiar chill twisted,
finding its way through me
as I set and watched the clock
pass each minute

The sound, so electronic,
deafening as if it were
screaming in a high-
pitched voice demanding
that I turn away and not
look any longer

Pacing, looking out the
window over the rooftops
of the buildings to the
mysterious horizon
beyond

My stare as blank as a
composers white piece of
parchment on a lazy Saturday
afternoon, no rhyme, no
reason
 
Always the same question, why
was it that he felt it necessary?
to abandon me in this fashion

Are the end results to be the same?
completely alone with a half dead
heart and only questions and
never any answers

G. Williams
