We have an inquiry
A question beyond understanding
A problematic occurrence only questioned
By us.
By which I mean we know the answer
But do not want to know your response
Who is to say what I need to ask of them?
Who needs us to ask
Is trying to make an understanding
Of nothing?
Voices!
Asking question after question
"Why do you not trust?"
"Why do you not care?"
"Don't you think she knows it by now?"
Have you gone so mad as to wonder
The unspeakable question
Of which you have tried to enforce us
To ask?
To leave our hearts on death row
To be shredded
To be crushed
And to become an unrecognizable stain
Of tears
It is hard not knowing
It is hard not thinking impossible dreams
It is hard not to hold her perfect hand
It is hard to care
When you feel you don't have the courage
To do so
Why are we responsible of your plight?
Maybe I'm happy where I am
Maybe I need to be who I am
Right here and now
I am important here
I can help here
Why must I throw it all away
Because of something that is suppose to
Happen by chance anyway?
I will not try to control my destiny
Not here at least
Or maybe it's that I shouldn't mess with
This part of my fate
God needs to handle this one for me
I'm not ready to choose yet
I have been struck by lightning
But I will not act on these feelings
I will not lose her
If I do
I will lose the part of who I want to be
Who I need to be
She makes me better
Because I strive to be better for her
I can not ask her if she loves me
Because I know the answer
And I'm not going to lose her
Not yet.
