I lost

Last night we had a fight as we always do.
The day before the same thing happend,
This is a norm in this house.

I lost the love of my life because of this fighting and arguing
I lost a lifetime worth of happiness
I robbed myself of a beautiful and bright future

Why did I not back down?
Why did I always have to be right?
Why did I not see what this was doing to us?

Now that she is gone
My days are full of sorrow
My eyes are filled with tears

Sleep has also ran away from me
Sleep left the day she walked out of that door
Sleep and peace are nowhere to be found

Why did I not do something sooner?
Why did things have to go this far?
Why, but why?
