This is how I feel when I know I can do better for myself, but I just…can’t bring myself to do what I know is right.
Why only look for so long, before looking away?
Why not look forever upon the beauty at hand?
Why not sit, and watch it move and change?
Why not listen to the sweet sounds that fill the air?
Why not taste the sweet honey forever?
Why not feel the soft touch until it’s all you can feel?
Why not feel ecstasy for eternity?
Why? Why? Why?
Why go back to despair and pain?
Why go back to being among the sick and the dead?
Why not stay with the ones you love?
Why not live the best life you can?
Why listen to their beckoning calls for you to return?
Why not give them your final goodbye?
Why not smile forever?
Why not live among the strong?
Why not live forever young?
Why?
