Why?

Why do these eyes shed these tears..
Why don’t they dry up and dry up forever?
Why does this heart ever beat for someone?
Why can’t it be content just beating for none?

Why does this mind wander into someone’s beautiful thoughts?
Why doesn’t it just wander into the unknown darkness?
Why does this heart long for the memories of that someone?
Why doesn’t it long for the hollowness of the dark…?

Why do these hands rise in prayer so that one maybe mine?
Why don’t they rise so that they may not need someone?
Why does this heart dare to dream over and over again?
Why doesn’t it wish for the state of not dreaming?

Why do I long for each breath to see the next moment?
Why don’t I long so I may not need to breathe again?

  2. when tears dry up, the world will stop
    for emotions will die and so will i
    so keep em flowing like the words here
    they'll cleanse your soul and all your lie
