Questions Without Answer

Leaves me breathless, back against a wall
Mind grasping at straws, paper in hand
Slide to the floor, time seems to stall
Heart crying I don't understand
Room puddles and spins, I fall
Final heartbeat on demand

Chest heaving as I fight
Crumpled on the cold floor
Ink scratches on white
What this pain is for
Tears blurring sight
I can't take more

Silent cry
Cannot give
Why die
Relive
Why
Live?

when did time begin....and when will it end....what is our purpose in Life....why do we feel so much pain and strife....why do we let evil bring us down....and why is temptation so hard to get around....very thought provoking glory....
