WHY???

WITHOUT ANY FOREWARNING OR PRELUDE
LONELINESS CREEPS IN TO OVERTAKE ONE IN A MOMENT.
ONLY TO CONTINUE TO MOUNT.
HEAPED QUITE HIGH UPON ALL HOPES AND DREAMS.
LEAVNG ONLY AN EMPTY SHELL OF WHAT ONCE WAS ME.
IN BETTER TIMES MOST OBVIOUS; HOWEVER,
NOW, NOTHING BUT PAIN OF A DEFEAT.
THE LIES OF LOVE THAT NEVER WAS
THOUGH MUCH EMOTION AND PASSION WAS AWAKENED AND AROUSED.
FOR OH, SO LONG A TIME
YET LOST AND ABANDONED WITH NOT ANSWERS OR RESOLUTIONS.
WHY US?  YOU SAY.
WHY ME? I SAY.
AND FINALLY, WHY NOT!!!  THEY ANSWER WITH DISGUST.
SURVIVING MEANS ACCEPTING YET AT TIMES
STILL WANTING TO CLING TO WHAT SEEMED TO BE SO NATURAL.
IT FEELS SO RIGHT--------BUT YET SO EMPTY AND HOLLOW.
ONLY LEFT ARE ECHOS OF WHAT SEEMED TO BE TRUE.
EACH ONE FADING A BIT MORE THAN THE ONE BEFORE.
SEEING MORE MOMENTUM TURNS TOWARDS NOTHINGNESS!
THEN--------------------
WITHOUT WARNING:
"IT ENDS!"

I really like the beginning of this alot, thank you WS

The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
