When, Why, And How Long (FREE VERSE)
When, Why, And How Long?

When is enough, enough?
How long
Do you wait
For something that’s never going to be yours
Again
How long do you live out
Those memories
And what was supposed to be or
What could have been
Why do we thrive on
Those maybe that we’ve been lied
Not promised and
That we in fact created ourselves
Why do we want
Someone who did us wrong
Because love
Is blind maybe
But is love really blind or
Do we use that excuse
To overlook the flaws that
We don’t see
We have just been told
That are there
Why do we let them
Define who we are
Why were they our voice and
Why now that they’re gone
do we now lie speechless
And how long do we lie in
That bed of lies
How long do we kiss
Those lips
That speak them
And how long
Do we lie in that bed
And dream
Dream of things
That we may not
Even want
Why can’t we
Just say goodbye
Why does goodbye
Hurt so damn bad
What are we losing
That isn’t already gone
What are holding on to
But broken promises and
Every lie we asked
Them to tell
Did they make us smile or
Did we smile because we thought
They did
Or
We wanted them to
How long do you spend
Hanging on to every
Never said thing
That they were never
Even thinking
How long do you spend
Changing
Into everything that they asked him
To ask you to change to
Or
That he wants you to be
Just to turn around
And then have his mind
Changed for that to not be
Good enough either
How long do you fight
To try to make them love you
And so then do when we hurt
Are we creating out own misery
Or
Is it justifiable
Why do we give it all
To only be asked
To give more
And why just because they ask
Do we give it
What happened to equality
What happened to love
Love like the movies
Where everything is written to
Make you want it
And you think that’s the way life is
Until you fall for someone
And reality bitch slaps you in the face
How long do we play everyone’s fool
How many times do we give in instead of give up
And why when you say goodbye
Do they come back
How do you have someone
But be alone
What’s physical affection if
It’s intended for another lover
Why do we only want
What we cant have
Why don’t we want
What we can
What’s so wrong with them
What ever happened to
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
And why is he the only beautiful one
WHY
Why cant the dreams be the memories
And the memories the nightmares
How do they just let go and move on
How do you stop yourself
From falling in love
How long is forever
Does it even exist
And why do we want forever instead of eternity
Why are the words I love you a lie
But yet the reason the world’s here and together
Why do tears never fade and scars never heal
And why are they the scar
Being a constant reminder of what you cant have
And why cant you have it
Why do we have to try it
To see if we like it
Why, do when we try it
Do we lie it
But come to see that
We took to long and it’s gone
But why not try it
What’s the point
In knowing everything
If you knew would you still do it
And we already know the answer is yes
But why
Why would you relive it
Just to get your hopes up
To have them brutally murdered
Why is anything and anyone
Better than to be alone
And what about that anyone
Can anyone answer me
Someone please tell me
When, Why, And How Long?
