Why?

Why do I feel this way?
Why do you always do this to me?
Why do love you so?
Why am I so alone?

Why do I put on a mask just for you?
Why do I cry myself to sleep every night?
Why do I wait just to talk to you?
Why am I so lost without you?

Why do I hide my emotions?
Why don’t you hear me cry?
Why am I not angry with you?
Why can’t I try?

Why do I smile when I hear your name?
Why do I cry when it’s spoken in vain?
Why am I so far gone?
Why don’t we belong?

When will we learn to stop wearing our hearts on our sleeves?
When is it okay to love someone no matter the risks?
When can we understand the reasons and excuses?
When will they love you back just as much as you love them, and prove it?
