Why

Why did my tears fall
when the sun was shining
the moonlight was glittering
and my life was full?

Why was I crying
when I heard him whisper
that he was dying
to be with me?

Why did I wail into my pillow
when he said he was coming
to hold my hands
and walk down the aisle with me?

Why was I in despair
when he came home yesterday
and promised forever
to stay?

For
my love for him
are dusts under my feet
trodden by indifference.
