I Didn’t Ask Why

Looking at this here, now, today

I had to know what happened – to me, to us, to what we had

But I didn't ask why

I kept it all inside – the pain, the longing

The endless, hopeless feeling of belonging

To another who decides my fate unkind

Yet so lovingly, I leave it all behind

To move on albeit unwillingly

Unto that which makes me live deceitfully

Taking away my pride, my love and all the good that is in me

Leaving behind nothing but the tendency to self destruct within

Let this be a lesson

From the past and for the future for my person

That knowledge is the key to all

And ignorance will bring the fall

To all things bright and beautiful, creatures great and small.
