Why, A Villanelle

you came to me and said goodbye
you said our love had gone astray
yet never did i ask you why

not once did i come close to cry
despite your words the fateful day
you came to me and said goodbye

you showed my entire life, a lie
my dreamsilk sky begun to fray
yet never did i ask you why

my pleas must have adorned my eyes
how did you manage not to sway
you came to me and said goodbye

i've hoped and wished in years gone by
the words and pleas that i could say
yet never did i ask you why

that day my heart and soul did die
the day you chose to walk away
you came to me and said goodbye
yet never did i ask you why
