The Love that Couldn't be

By: Sarah K Clements

Why'd you go away?
I ask the sky, just why
But, it does not answer,
Just quickly blows on by

I tell the trees, I loved you
And ask them why you're gone
But, the trees don't answer me
They stand and reach the sun

Why is my heart broken?
I ask the moon to say
But, the moon won't answer me,
It rises past the day

I tell the stars, I loved you
And ask them why I cry
But, they do not answer
They twinkle in the sky

Why do things just change?
I ask the clouds to speak
But, they do not answer,
They pass on with the week

I tell the birds, I loved you
And ask them what's to be
But, they do not answer,
They just begin to sing to me

Why do I feel this pain?
I ask the earth for me
But, the answer is in love
A love that couldn't be
