If you would have known…











Why did you believe you couldn't restart?

Why did you suffer silently?

Do you now see the sorrow and broken hearts?

Would you still choose to leave privately?


Did you not want to see us again anymore?

Because we didn’t figure out your despair?

Was it that long you were hurting?

Why didn’t you cry in all fair and square?

 

How could you leave us without warning?

Why did you con us with your beautiful demeanour?

How did we not know that you were so good to be true?

Why did you have to carry all that alone?

 

Has your pain ended?

For us, its just the beginning.

Has death brought you any good?

For us, it’s just emptiness.

 

If you would have known, we wanted you to stay longer.

If you would have known, we would always help.

If you would have known, you left us without warning.


If you would have known, you left us only with questions.

If you would have known, we loved you so much. 

If you would have known, we will always miss you. 


My three weeks with you were the times I rested,

Little did I know that I would never have this later.

Your gentleness will go a long way,

May you rest in peace, Chechi.

  3. Heart felt and emotional. Some of the things you have asked, I feel it too. It's sad and tragic. Thank you for your poem.
