Why Does It...

by Jackie Bilson   Nov 15, 2004


Why does it burn me?
Why does it consume?
Why is it no matter how hard I run,
It still pulls me to my doom?

Why do I feel tears parade,
From my exhausted eyes?
Why does rain pour down on me,
When there are clear blue skies?

The same reason I can't smile.
The same reason I can't think.
The same reason I spend days in bed,
Without having slept a wink.

Living a terrible lie,
No longer knowing what to do.
Living with this awful secret,
Of still being in love with you.

    This is a great poem. Letting go is hard, believe me I know. I can't let go either and everybody tries to help, but only time will heal the pain. Great poem!
