Why? is all i ask. (yet u sill never respond)

reality, my dear old friend are you watching
for i know you've scared away hope and joy
but have u gone to chase love too.

i cry at night
will for sleep to come
try to lull myself
from this perpetual agony

sometimes it comes
waiting at the door
mocking my tears
and hitting me cold
it travels behind reality
in stealth awaiting to bring upon false hope
do u know of which i speak?
the kind u bring
the kind i took
so willingly
sometimes i wonder
was i too afraid to love you
so i never gave u the chance
or was i just too knowing
and realized the truth

reality, my dear old friend are you watching
for i know you've scared away hope and joy
but have u gone to chase love too.
i can feel it
the bitterness glazing over my mouth
the agony penetrating my mind
i can hold the regret.
there are so many things i wish i could change
and so many moments i wish i could keep
but i know that they have gone
passed the spring and the snow
to come full circle
till it was all too late

now i've given up.
there's really noting left
except for the faded memories
and cradled pictures
tears fall when i think about how it could have been
but its not until i realize how it became
that the pain ascends and the anguish whimpers

reality, my dear old friend are you watchingfor i know you've scared away hope and joy
but have u gone to chase love too.
have you any idea how i torture my self
with the thoughts better than knives
for the truth scars the mind and the life!
i know i don't deserve u
but neither does she.
yet u still gave her the chance and not me
why?
WHY!
she will never love you as i have
she will never truelly carei
you know, as well as i do, that she dosent really understand
so why?
is she the best u can do
no,

but i'm not either i'm not worthy
of anything
u made me feel worthy
but i know its not true
i know that its just abhorrence
that convinces u to turn my way
so no longer shall i love you
it pains me to speak the truth
eventually i wont
i will forget u
passing sands through an hourglass
time ticking
but love withholding

so i must know.reality, my dear old friend are you watching
for now that hope has left me
and love has said its goodbyes
the cold seeps in through the door
bring a forgotten death upto the skies
