Because

Let me read it to you

She was staring into space

focusing on nothing at all

I asked her why

She said because

Her eyes were filled with tears

which trickled down her cheeks

I asked her why

She said because

Her brow was heavy with sadness

Her face etched with sorrow

I asked her why

She said because

She knew that I was leaving

She knew it broke my heart

She asked me why

I said because
