Love Poem: Echo

Echo

Why did you leave me?
I cried aloud on the mountainside.
An echo returned to me
A mere repetition once she died.

Why can't I know where she is?
It was not right that I should know.
Everything was hers, not his.
Like it or not, it's better so.

My mind echoed "I love you still".
I trudged home, with nowhere to go.
Dark thoughts were all that now fill
My life was now full of desperate woe.
