So Fast

by Lillian

I didn't mean to say good-bye so soon
I can't go back, though it was all a mistake
Those promises we did make
Soon became a thing of the past
When our love was shattered
By something so horrible, so fast
But do you know how much I needed you
In my time of despair?
Or am I being selfish, thinking only of myself
For what seems to be the thousandth time?
You needed me,
Or so I was told
And when I tried to pick up the glass shards
That I call myself
You were not there.
