WHY?


Why does it hurt so bad?

Why does the pain in my heart make me feel so sad?

Why does my anger and pain turn the red to blue inside my viens?

Why do you say you love me?

When it's clear you don't!

Why do you say you will?

And you know you won't!

Why are priorities marked 1,2,3?

In your eyes tell the truth,

I'll always end up at 3!

Can I be number 1?

Even 2 would suffice!

Atleast I would know I was closer to the prize.

Why does it hurt so bad?

I don't know!

Cause I know one thing for certain, and two things for sure

All pain hurts whether happy or sad! 

Why?
