Why

Why?
Why did you leave?
Why didn't you say goodbye?
What did I do?
Did I make you cry?
How can I change your mind?
Or do I know
Better
You got what you wanted
And took the shards
Of my broken heart
And threw them
In the ocean
Never to return
To see if I survived
I know you never wanted to be mine
You just wanted to be wanted
I know I am not wrong
I should have learned
I see clearly
But my chest hurts
Where my heart belongs
A smoking empty cavity
And I am fool
Because knowing it all
I'd still welcome you back
After you've gone
I am such a fool
If I were young
It'd make some sense
But why bother?  Why?
I am old
And it makes no difference
I might as well go
Watch some shitty movies
Drink some beer
And cry
And blame someone
Other than me
For what happened here
