I ask myself, why?

Folder: 
Poetry

I barely knew you, and still I feel like a part of me left when you went away..

Emptiness fills me whenever I think of you.

What happened to you, the way you were taken off this earth, it's just not fair.

Why couldn't I have gone in your place?

You were only seventeen.. Much younger than I..

You had so many hopes and dreams..

I'm twenty-one.. hopeless, and without desire to live..

why couldn't he have taken me instead?

tears prick the backs of my eyes, I look at your photograph, and once again,

I ask myself, "why?"
