I Don't Know
By Dragonfly
I don't know why
I spend so much time
Trying to color inside
the lines
When like a tsunami you can wash them away
as
if they never existed and would never stay
and never more than a
night to lay
I don't know why
People Lie
But they
do it well every time
Even when they don't they'll fade
and become like a dream as they go away
and shed no more light
than a darkened ray
I don't know who
told me it was true
when i talked about you
When teardrops were for happy days
and I never had to worry if you would stay
and I knew it was my
bed where you lay
I don't know when it changed
and things
became terribly estranged
but they are not the illusions of those
deranged
When broken glass became an unfixable thing
and
even paper cuts begin to sting
and we no longer cherish our summer
nights fling
I then know...
It's over.

Alot of us are hurt by ones we love... or not. But when it's time to let go, we hold on. For as long as we can. We let go of the crap. But we cling to what was good. Le sigh.
