"If I Only Knew Why..."

What is an hour?
Once time elapses.
What is a tower?
Once it collapses.

What is a heart?
After it's been broken.
What are words?
When they are no longer spoken.

Why do we want things
We don't think we can have?
But when we get them
We no longer want them.

We do we destroy
The things we want to keep?
And sell our souls
For things that we will reap?

Why do we fight for the truth?
When all we really want is a lie.
Why do we stop to say hello?
When it just ends with a goodbye.

Why do we hurt
The ones we love?
Yet, love the ones
Who hurt us?

Why does our heart
Takes us in one direction--
And yet, our mind
Takes us in another?

Why do we change
Our imperfections?
Just to look like
Another.

Why do the wise
Think they're the fools?
And yet, the fools
Think they are wise?

Why do we live in the
Sunset?
Even when the
Sun rise.
