Why?


I don't know why
All I know is I have
I guess it would be understandable 
If I just decided to leave
Understandable, but not approved of
With the seizing
And the stolen moments
Moments
gone forever 
They would understand
At least I think they would
Maybe they wouldn't 
They haven't gone through it
Haven't felt the pain
All the pain I feel inside 
They try to understand
But they never can
What would happen if I did it?
If I just ended it?
I would go Home
To the One awaiting me
Maybe that's part of the call
But for the ones here
I think they would miss me
Maybe that's why I've kept living
