Why?

Why do I know you 
so well? 
Why do I love you 
so foolishly? 
Why do I know 
when you lie 
skillfully, shamelessly? 

Why can't you hide 
your crazy thoughts? 
Why your way of being 
so deceiving and dark? 
Why you can love 
like no one I know? 
Why are you 
so damn proud? 

Time doesn't change 
how you journey, 
experience has taught you 
so little. 
Why can't I understand 
who you really are 
or justify your moves? 
Why is there 
so much hatred in you? 

Are you running away 
from yourself? 
What makes you 
do what you do? 
I got so many questions 
without a single answer. 
And yet, I should know 
because you are....me: 
with no answer
