Poetry: Unspoken thoughts

I don't know exactly
why we are here,
why we are talking and laughing,
spinning the wheels of time.

I don't know why we are human
or why we act the way we do,
why people use violence as one
uses a stepping stone.

I don't know why we deny our lies
when everyone can see the mold
festering on our bodies.

I don't know why we use words
as a shield,
or as a weapon

I don't know why people cry by themselves
when their tears are forming an
ocean around their bodies.
Drowning them slowly.

I don't know why our lips stay silent
Don't know why happiness is only fleeting,
why people hold it as lightly as they
hold a bubble before it bursts.

I don't know why we form a human chain
of delusions and fantasies,
as if we can all fall like dominoes
into the lap of joy.

    Tainted shores become your seas
    Although my waves have been taken from me
    Kestrels circle to steal

    I don't want to believe
    That Angels don't watch over me
    That the sun will cease shining
    Or the stars weren't made for gazing

    You Never Knew

    You never knew I cared for you;
    I never told you so-
    Though I cherished you with all my heart,
    I knew you'd never
