Why

a poem by John Thomas

Why did you break my heart today?
Why did you ever go away?
You know how much I need you
As I walk through life’s long way.

Before you left I know you wept
That shows your feeling for me
Even if you deny I know it’s a lie
Whatever it may be.

That tear drop swell that yesterday fell
Not only moistened your cheeks
It drowned me deep on sorrows well
And even wet my dreams.

Like a star-less sky and a fruitless tree
My situation has come to be,
So will you hold me by my hand
And share your life with me?

Like a lonely island in the middle of the sea
I am standing alone now,
I know some day you will surely return
And shower me with your love.
