Hate is a four letter word but love is a four letter lie.
The people closest to us are the ones that leave us with the guilty why.
Why did you put me in a confined space?
What is it I am supposed to face?
The lingering words to hold nothing torment me.
I can’t let go of winning and living, nor the bruised brokenness inside that I see.
My existence causes you nothing but pain.
Your solution is to choke my life away with a look of disdain.
Our love should be able to overcome anything?
Why didn’t you realize the agony your death would bring?
In our minds we excessively press rewind.
That is what people contemplate when they have been left behind.
Author notes
Options 7, 8, and 9. Title I used is Left Behind. Quote I used is Hate is a four letter word, love is a four letter lie. I dabbled a little with options 2 and 4. The words I used are pain, agony, bruised, excessive but I used that as excessively, and linger which I used as lingering. It is a tale of four different perspectives. Wondering why do I have to suffer. In the end they all internally ask the question why me.
