"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.
