Why do I

Why do I weep

In the darkness

When you turn away

 

Why do I scream

In agony

When you touch me

 

Why do I stay

In my own personal hell

When you attempt

To break these chains

That hold me down

 

Why do I pull away

From the warmth of your embrace

When I crave your closeness

 

Why do I fear

The angel

Whom you have always been

 

Why do I lye alone

In silence

When I want you

Next to me

 

Why do I deny

The emotions

You stir within me

 

Why do I take so much

And give you nothing

When you have given everything

 

Why do I remember

The things

I long to forget

 

Why

Is the question

I ask myself

Constantly

A question

In which

Bears no answers

Because

How can I love another

When I am smothered

By the past

That never fades

And strengthens the pain

Breaking me down

But yet you refuse

To leave me be

Or let me die

You cling to a hope

That one day

Our souls will intertwine

And my heart will be yours
