Why Did You Let Me Get Away?

Why did you let me get away?

As a soldier to his creed was I

Serving you loyally in our love

Perhaps I had doubts and fears 

Yet never did I ponder a sad life

A life wherein you are missed 

Now forced upon me I understand 

That time only stretches frustrations

From the scene of the crime 

Up until justice miraculously is served

Did I not plead by olive branch

To reconcile our positions 

So that we would walk the same path?

Did the right move truly evade? 

Were your intentions pure in love?

For why not did you beg of me 

‘Stay, my beloved! Let us bend

One to the other and reverse 

So that what we have will not fly away’?

Rather, and as per your direction

To never allow your arms separation

From those that crave their hold

I took flight confused among clouds

That I mistook for a heaven 

In search of my dearest one 

My love that was and would be

Within your trembling heart 

But likely you were unsure 

And still by secret to yourself 

You still are. 

And so on and so forth and

What have I?

A question that breaks through the waves

That shatters the paradigm 

it breaks the sonic barrier 

an excitation at its peak 

Well?

Why did you let me get away??
