Why?- well it's because.
Why can't I feel
happiness from running in the rain?
Why can't I feel
loneliness from being locked away?
Why can't I feel
anger from their screams while I'm asleep?
Why can't I feel
sorrow when death is all I see?
Why can't I feel
fright when someone says I'm scared
Why is there just
pounding coming from my heart?
Now you're not around
the beating wants to stop.
Why don't I know memories?
They're forgotten, mostly gone.
Why can't I shed tears?
Sobs just come from my mouth.
An empty sound of nothing
that stops when you are near.
Why don't I understand
this thing that they call fear?
Why don't I feel
sadness when the smile they show is fake?
Why don't I have
nightmares of the pills they made me take?
Why do I feel
empty until I hear your name?
My Romeo please tell me,
I don't even feel shame.
Well-
You don't feel, because I've left you
I've gone away and died.
Your feelings are forgotten.
The memories of me you hide.
You don't feel pain and sadness.
You don't know fright , despair
and your heart, it still pains greatly
you just don't know the pain is there.
The distance is your answer.
Your question always why?
The pills you take are helpful
they help you not to cry.
Sometimes you miss me dearly
and your heart begins to break.
Your mind it shatters daily,
your sanity it shakes.
They try to ease your madness
they try to make you well.
Instead they only break you
now you are not yourself.
The hurt you feel goes deep inside
the pits of your sad soul.
Your body aches for my touch
it yearns for me to hold.
I wish that I was with you.
I wish I was not dead.
But I'll tell you about my heart
each time I catch your ear.
Yes- I'll tell you about your heart
the heart that we once shared.
from my collection called ... I'll tell you about my heart
