Array ( [sid] => 142113 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Why? [time] => 2008-05-03 23:31:19 [hometext] => I simple Questions with no real answer. Alas... [bodytext] => With lies about love and a rose as a gift
Her hopes and faith in him he’ll lift.
Just so that he, for some sick game,
Can rape and abuse and leave her lame

A petal falls, her poor heart breaks
His words and beatings are so much to take.
His false talk of love, his lies and hate
The beatings and shouting. The pain and rape.

A soft tear drops from a weary eye
She brings her knees close and begins to cry
Her wounds so harsh. Her soul, so weak.
Peace and relief is all she seeks.

The angel of death now draws near.
His presence and purpose she does not fear.
She closes her eyes and accepts his embrace
He wipes her tears as they leave this place.

The years of abuse fade into the past
The release she longed for had come at last.
They’ll find her body some time the next day
They’ll arrest him and throw him in prison to pay.

But what of the lady, now lifeless and cold?
What of her dreams that would never be told?
Why did he hurt her and show such hate?
How could he allow this to be her fate?

A tear drop falls, another innocent dies
In a world of hate, a world of lies.
Such violence these days, so many that die.
I just have one question and that is “Why?” [comments] => 3 [counter] => 217 [topic] => 21 [informant] => BitterSweetAngel [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Lifepoems )

Why?

There is no peace in life given
No relief unless we seek
Seek for the peace we wish inside
The sad fact is all of mankind will die
Not from death but from our struggles inside
Inside we never let go the pain and anguish
Saguine is the color is of our hate
But to "Why" there is no response
We all must let go at some point
No matter what the plight
No matter how much it hurts
Remember that person that you hated so
Forgive them with all your might
Because that pain will never let you go
If you do not the then won the hated one has
And to you none
