WHY?
Why can’t you just let things be?
Why won’t you open your eyes and see
That we’re not going to be together and
This love we must put to an end.
Why won’t you stop these questions of me you ask?
Why won’t you just let me go and forget the past
That we once shared and held dearly
And live your life without me.
Why do you feel I should always call you?
Why do you feel you can control me; whatever you say, I should do?
Because as far as I’m concerned,
I still love you, but to me, you can never return.
Why do you insist on keeping track of me?
Why do you constantly try to ask about who it is I choose to see?
It isn’t YOU - -
Even though it’s obvious, you don’t have a CLUE!
Why do you say you love me, but you don’t show it?
Why do you say you will wait, but you won’t control yourself one bit?
Is it my body you really want?
Or my life you’re trying to destroy, tell me the truth, DON’T FRUNT!
Well, I’m tired of your Why’s and lies
And refuse to let you stay in my life.
If you really want to be with me,
Then I suggest you do what it takes so that with me you’ll be.
But whatever you choose,
Please make sure you understand my rules
Because you may take too long
And I’ll be long gone!

Poetry: Tell me why
Someone please tell me why we are who we are, why we wish upon stars, why we talk to our cars?
And someone please tell me
WHY?
Why can’t you just let things be?
Why won’t you open your eyes and see
That we’re not going to be together
THE NEXT DAY
Yesterday, was just
another day
in one of many
that I couldn't explain
I have no one else.
to blame
I Wonder...Why I Wonder Why
Tell me why I wonder why.
Tell me why we do this by and by.
What of this seeking to satisfy
our
You say you do not love me now,
but can not tell me why.
You will not tell me when or how
or what caused your love
