WHY?

Why would you offer a drowning woman a lifeline
then turn around and walk away
never again to look back?

Why would you, after learning she survived,
criticize her and cause her
to wish to God she had died?

The lifeline she needed was friendship
plain and simple
but after raising her hopes
just enough to matter

Why would you
-- why did you --
cause her so much damage?

Why?

Regis
