Why....

Why should should I even deal when I'm dealt a bad hand every time? Why apologize when 
I'ts going in one ear and out the other? Why say the words I love you when I'ts only 
temporary? Why choose to stay when eventually your going to walk away? Why begin to 
care when you know it will end just as quick as it begin? Why get angry at me again about 
something you was never over in the first place? Why listen to what I say when you know 
I'ts doesn't matter to you anyways?Why try to fix something that's been damaged from the 
door? 






               "CURIOUSITY KILLED THE CAT" BUT MY SPIRIT DIED A LONG TIME AGO.......

If Curiousity Killed the Cat...

I don't get the expression
There's cats everywhere
That was the only dumb cat
To which the world compares

Mine are in the cupboards
Closets they can perch
Diving under my sheets
Curiousity is what makes them search

Unwrapping to toilet paper
Hockey with anything on the floor
How come they're still living
I'm using that expression no more
