    Why

    Why did I have to go against my parents?
    They only wanted what's best for me.
    They did everything they could for me.
    Why did I have to lie?
    It didn't get me far.
    I could have done better by telling the truth.
    Why did I have to fall in love?
    I was taken off guard
    and fell for her faster than I thought I would.
    Why did I have to take her out tonight?
    We were planning this for weeks
    and I had everything planned out.
    Why did I have to stop?
    I was low on gas and needed to stop.
    She went in to pay.
    Why did it have to be her?
    My worst fear had come.
    I ran in to stop him but he shot her any way.
    Why did this have to happen?
    The guy wanted money and she got in the way.
    I fought with him and shot him with his gun.
    Why did I have to be in this situation?
    I looked down at the gun in my bloody hands
    and knew my life was over without her.
    Why does it have to end like this?
    I lift the gun and look at it closer.
    I stare down the barrel and squeeze the trigger.

    forgotten apparitions leave a sour taste in all of our mouth's... The diagnosis is left for all of us to conjure, so I conjure a sense of two selve's, deceiding on which one shall be victorious...

    wooo! nice

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

    Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
