Why?A Poem by And She SingsI can't believe this.... It's all my fault and it has always been this way. I let her in and I let her make me feel good, and then I depend on her. I can't depend on anyone. Ever.I never thought I would be here again. Never thought I'd let someone this close again. I pushed you away Now I need you to stay But that isn't how it was supposed to work. I feel like a fool For letting myself Believe that you could be "It" for me. Your touch is intoxication Your spirit is liberation So why do I feel trapped in my heart? With all of my soul, I Dreamed of a girl. Just like you. What is a lover, an addict, to do? Your kiss was a celebration. Your light, a new revelation. So why do I feel I got the short end of the stick? You made me a deal, A promise you couldn't keep. Of course, you couldn't have known the curse of my heart. Once it is open to you, It could be yours forever. If I don't have your favor, please tell me now and save me the pain. Could you ask me One more time If I'm feeling alright? Just to assure I can Get through the night? I had guarded my heart for so long. And for what? A few fluttered-out butterflies And an ache in my stomach. Could it be though, that in reality, We're dancing around each other? Around the elephant in the room? I want to think that could be the case. I am sorry that I went and messed everything up. I'm sorry that I can't keep Anything this wonderful As professional as you would like. Most of all? I'm sorry that I'm too big of a coward to tell you how I really feel. If only the world could silence for a second, I could get some peace and quiet in my beating heart. Who am I to blame all the people When I know what they mean now. The emptiness that life can leave you with in the midst of your contentment. That's not true. Tell me what's wrong. Why not? ... Because it's not wrong. Because it's just right, At the wrong time. In the wrong place. With the wrong one. Because I love you when we said that is what this can't be. Because I love you. But mostly, Because you don't love me.
