Ghosted - A Villanelle

All I want to know is why

What occurred just as I feared,

Ghosting me with no goodbye.

Did you smile, or did you cry

Because what you did set me to tears,

And all I want to know is why.

This helpless circumstance is what I wanted to deny

But, why didn’t I see it when it was so clear

Ghosting me with no goodbye.

I saw the fog pouring into the sky.

The storm awaits as you appear

Because all I want to know is why.

Your actions were not justified,

But this guilt inside me began to sear,

After ghosting me with no goodbye.

I didn’t want what we had to die,

So I still forgave you but became just your peer.

All I wanted to know was why

You ghosted me with no goodbye.
