Why
Why is it so much harder
To build up than tear down
Harder still to smile
When all you want to do is frown.
Why must life insist
To tear your world apart
Rather than to listen,
To the quiet aching of your heart
Why does time march on
Instead of standing still
So that we can savor moments
Time so cruelly intends to kill
We may never know the answers
Though the questions churn our minds
So next time be very careful
When you see these tearful eyes
