TELL ME WHY

Based on a short film (video below is available for viewing). WARNING: Pure Fiction. The video contains a scene on carelessness which caused one's death.

Tell me why now  I'm starting to forget
Once I was hopeful but only to regret
I've spent most of my life to phony hope
Life that until now is grey, I can't cope

Tell me why now I'm trying to get back
Back to the times that I was once a rock
I had no aches and pains to bear and weep
The time when I don't know a love to keep

Tell me why now I'm struggling here too much
Thinking of you, the heart I want to watch
I'm learning to love you deeper, my dear
But I won't let you know it, I do swear

Who am I to be loved by a perfect woman?
I tried to shun the best way that I can
While I adored your name each moment in time
It's so hurting to know that you can't be mine

Until now I struggle not to think of you
But my heart is so powerful, I don't know what to do
You're always here in my heart and in my mind
A love I'm trying to keep but always hard to find

Tell me why now  I'm starting to forget
Once I was hopeful but only to regret...

This is somehow true...

We often associate our feelings to our heart. But the hypothalamus, which is the seat of our emotions, is located in our brain. the pain and the agony we feel will soon fade... it's just a matter how we handle it.

the context alone need not be rated mature.. but i could not watch the short film. thank you for sharing this.

LOL. I know my piece is a simple one... but when I put video attachment in my piece, I consider it a part of the piece when viewed and since there is a content which shows about suicide, I prefer only mature readers/viewers.
Thank you, Gab. =)
