The Will To Life

What makes man love so 
blindly
Why does man love so blindly
What makes man love at first 
sight
Why does the sight of her fill 
man with delight
What can man do to try to 
forget
Why does man do things he 
will soon regret
What can man do to stop 
getting annoyed 
Why can't love be something 
man can 
avoid
What makes this will to love 
so strong
Why does man only find 
women to which with them it 
feels so wrong,
and never right

What is the reason why I 
can't find the one for me
Why am I so particular, what 
isn't there that I wish I could 
see
What makes me complicate 
this innate, simple, organic 
matter
Why couldn't she be a little 
darker, lighter, skinnier, fatter
What makes me think that I'd 
be settling for less than I 
wanted
Why did I only decide now 
that this issue should be 
confronted
What is life without love, for 
love is essential
Why does the 
fact that it's essential drive 
me mental
What made me love so blindly
I have no idea

(according to Arthur 
Schopenhauer, 'the will to 
life' is a primitive and very 
superficial force that makes 
people create hopefully well 
balanced offspring, not the 
more complex notion of love, 
love is the hoax)
