I sit here solemnly rocking my shadow
crying bitter tears of anger and betrayal
as it asks me so many questions
that I can not answer.
It asks me about you.
Why did you leave me alone
and without hope.
You are someone I trusted.
Not expecting abandonment.
Not even a word of hello or goodbye.
Leaving me in shock by someone
else’s cruel delivery of news.
With no reassurance of my innocence or guilt.
What made you leave, abandoning me.
I fear that somehow I failed you.
Though in truth you failed me.
I had no expectations except
that you would not hurt me.
Especially without explanation.
You disappeared with less than the courtesy,
the respect to explain.
Here lies my shadow as it asks me with its silence.
Does friendship mean nothing?
So much confusion by a selfish act.
From someone I wrongfully trusted.
It repeats the question, what did I do?
I sit here solemnly with my shadow.
Knowing it will leave me like you.
