Why did you leave?

Why did you leave me?

Alone in the dark, the pain

With no way to get free

-

Why did you wound me?

Open my heart, my mortal soul

With the stinging blade of words

My soul bleeding through the gaping hole

-

Why did you rob me?

You robbed me of life

Stole my purpose, my meaning

Sending me into pain and strife

-

Why did you slay me?

You slaughtered my soul, my being

My chest no longer rising

My eyes no longer seeing

-

Why did you love me?

You used me for your pleasure

Your rose, changing from white to death black

My pain growing beyond all measure
