The Question Why

Gently halting kisses,
Passionate embraces and
Late night arguments.

Emotions were unlocked,
Feelings were unleashed.

New Year's on the street,
The snowy mountain retreat...
They're all just memories,
Ghosts to haunt my past.

The question why still remains.
Confusion and pain
Still cloud my soul;
But the past is a knot
That can't be undone.
My heart and dreams,
Shattered,
Have begun to mend.

Our paths, once one,
Are now separate,
Forever.
