"Why"
by Max PhineasWhy I thought it'd all go away
From a single moment of a single day
Why I thought I could set you free
By granting just one wish,
Is far beyond me.
Why I reasoned that happiness is easy
Once you see how good people can be
Why I figured it was all a dream
From which you would awake with a scream
And believe the nightmare was over
Is lost on me. 05/02/2006 Author's Note: I wrote this in my Pathetic journal in May, and I guess I didn't like it enough to post it here...but now I do? Go figure.
