You wonder why,

I must say goodbye.

Reach out your hand,

Try to call out my name.

But I slash it away,

And the flinch takes too long.

I burn my eyes into yours,

Yet you stare back in numb disbelief.

You should be grateful,

That I leave you to your miserable life.

Or you should hate me,

Curse me as I fall. For the evils I've done.

I search your face,

And all I see is brotherly love.

Too quick your face is gone,

And I am left in darkness.

I try to understand.

Why you could not say goodbye?
