Forgive Me

Part III
With tears in her eyes
She looked at me, resigned
Yet her cheeks were dry
And though I knew not why,
I know now .. she only cried inside
"I wish I knew
"How to tell you of this pain
"I wish I knew
"The reasons of it all
"But truth be told
"I don't know."
"And I didn't know why..
"I've gone to sleep relieved
"But only to feel despair
"At the first waking hour."
"I wish I could let you feel.."
And she sighed, shaking her head
"How can I wish that on a friend?
"On anyone?
"No one deserves such feelings."
I know now she was wrong
What I would give to have that second chance
To tell her what are friends for
If not to share any pain?
Though for a fleeting moment
I thought I could say
That I have felt her hurt
But how could I,
When it was plain I hadn't a clue at all
She knew I could not comprehend
And there was no malice, no spite
In regards to me
Than her words ever would have
Asking the question why
And though truly she must have asked before
Why she simply hurt, it was not this she ask now
The question she implored at me
Struck me colder than what she did next
And I could her a sigh pass through her lips
I closed my eyes as she stepped off the cliffs
There was silence, except for the wind
That reach out its arms to accept her
Brushing past me as an afterthought
And finally I answered her question
"Because I did not know how."
