When Did You Walk Away? (Free verse) by TLRufener

The world has become confusing Everything I knew has changed The sun has hidden behind the clouds And each day it only rains A river of tears flows from my eyes The ocean waves are cold and gray My heart has shattered into a million pieces Wondering ‘when did you walk away?’ I cannot help but ask who is by your side I see you together each and every day She suits you well, better than me At least that is what you say She can keep you as long as she can I have to wonder how soon you will stray After that the roles will be switched She will ask ‘when did you walk away?’ Your life will carry on until you die Always changing opponents in you fray Each and every heart you break Will band together in strength and pray The tables will turn on you soon A girl will be the one to stray You will cry alone with your broken heart Asking, ‘when did you walk away?’

Yes, but most of your questions have answers, and most of those answers are either yes or no. To name a few others,

Q: Where have equality slipped off to?
A: It was never here. You've been taken by an equality impersonator with a bad accent.

Q: Did you ever hear me cry?
A: No. And I don't want to. Stop that right now, mister.

Q: Did the Angel knock upon your door?
A: If it did, I was in the shower.

Q: Did they carry you away?
A: Who? Weren't you talking about one angel? Um, no.

Q: When you looked into their eyes did they option you to stay?
A: No. Nice grammar though.

Q: What did I do to make them take you from me?
A: You have to believe in them to make them come, usually accompanied by saying 'Angel, Angel, Angel' in a mirror at exactly midnight. Buying an Angel tv-show box-set does it too.

Q: When did you walk away?
A: Easy. Right before I wasn't there any more. Time to move on.

What I'm trying to say is that people read poems be spoonfed answers, or to check their answers against someone else's. If I ever did think of a question I thought had no answer, I'd avoid putting it in a poem, for fear some reader who knew the answer would think I was kind of dumb. You can't say I'm not talking about your poems.
