Rumination

Why are you suddenly gone,

Were you feeling so very lone.

Was the path coarse and rough,

Or just that the going got tough.

Searing- the pain must have been ,

Yet they say you appeared serene.

Why one of us, you did not seek,

Did your fears never let you speak.

Were you angry with someone,

Or found life bereft of all fun.

Why were you in such haste,

To let life go in such waste.

What pushed you, we wonder ,

A question for us to ponder .

Now all that we can ever do,

Think of where we failed you.
