Why, oh God
Did you cast such an angel from heaven?
Why, oh Satan
Did you cast such a monster from hell?
Why, oh Counselor?
Why are the things I love most
The things I can never have?
Why do you give me just a taste
Of what could be mine
And tear it away from my mouth?
Why is what I long for
Just beyond my reach?
Why is my only desire
Elusive to my touch?
Why is my burning passion
Doused by the waters of humanity?
Why must I only dream of her
When she is close enough to touch?
