Can't die

Forever confined in this realm of solace

Can't cry

Eternally condemned to bear this burden alone

Don't know why

I have to keep going

Cursed to try

And always, always fail

Let out a sigh

Watch him run, free and happy

Just let me lie

Away in my calculations and dreams of a better time

Questions awry

Two come to mind

Why can I not say goodbye?

Because he is still alive

But the real mystery remains

Why can't he simply die?
