Why?

These feelings are creeping inside me, I don't know what to do.
I look deep inside my mind, but all I see is you.

Why are you haunting my brain? why won't you go away?
I really want you to go, but then I want you to stay.

I think about you during the day, I dream of you at nite.
Do you think this is wrong? Or do you think it's right?

I know you say you love me every single day. 
But do you think your going the right way?

Sometimes you confuse me, but you always make me laugh.
Especially when I see you in a photogragh.

I just want you to know i'm here for you until the end.
And no matter what happens I hope we'll always be friends.

Dear Cherica, please forgive me for not responding to your acalade about my poem "Diamon in the rough." Its just that I never thought people would think of my writing as beautiful, so I just write and never check. However, you on the other hand should never stop writing, because we need to be uplifted and encouraged, especially when love takes flight from our aching heart. "Why" is beautiful.

I like the closing line in this poem. Sometimes life gets confusing as there doesn't seem to be a clear cut solution as you convey here. Keep on writing! Thank you for your kind words on my poem. Karen
