Oh Why?

A pretty melancholy poem, made it while listening to Room of Angels by Akira Yamoka. Trying out a new format

Oh Why?

As I look up into the sky

Oh why?

As I look into your eyes

Oh why?

When I see into the deep recesses of your soul

And see the true mind behind it all

I wonder why oh why?

Did it all have to die?

Why did I have to do and kill it all?

Oh why?

Why could I just be happy with what I had?

Oh why?

And as I wonder why

As all of the pain runs through my head

As my mind falls upon the ground

Shattering into a thousand shards

Until the last traces of I are erased

I still wonder

Oh why? 

Why did I have to shatter?

Why could I not be happy for you?

Why could I not conquer my feelings?

Emotions….Instincts….Thoughts….Memories

And here I lie under the light of this world

As I peer into the deep abyss of my past 

I still wonder, oh why, oh why could I not be happy?

Oh why?

Oh why must I feel?

Why must I be in this body?

Why was I cursed with this form?

Why can I not leave this all-too physical realm?

Because You are here, and I cannot leave You like that

So thank you, my last thoughts are no longer why

Oh why? They have been replaced with these solemn words

Thank you
