Why Did Our Love End?

I originally wrote this poem in the early 1990s. When I re-read this poem a few years back, I wasn't happy with how it had turned out. I wrote this version of the poem on January 4, 2010, and it's from the point of view of a speaker looking back at a previous relationship. The speaker wonders where their relationship went wrong and why it ultimately fell apart and came to an end.


As I look back across the years
And remember all of the tears
From the time before my heart could mend
And I wonder why our love came to an end


I don't know why you said goodbye
Without looking me in the eye
Back then, was I just the latest trend?
I wish I could ask you, "Why did our love end?"
