WHY: THE ETERNAL UNKNOWN

Why does this world take from me

Why does the wind whisper my name

Why must this body continue on when my mind, heart and soul are already gone

Why can I not be as normal as you, the one who protects me from the wrong things I do

I will be left out when judgment day comes, I will be left out of the ending sum

Why does he haunt me when I am all alone

Walking the sands of my mind, taking memories far from home

Why must he deprive me of the love that I need and walk on the wind so far out of reach

Why do I suffer day after day

Wanting what so many others have

The darkness of midnight blocks out the voices

My thoughts aspire, I watch shadows lurk and demons devour

Free from interference around me

Trying to hide from visions striving to find me

The outside is changing what the inside has created

Why search your soul when the heart is negated

Why do I need love

Why will it not come

Why strive for a last chance at a life I will never see

The last spoken words from a woman destined to die alone
