Why do we search for a happy ending?
Why can't we be satisfied with who we are?
or what we have?
I have felt the cold metal that slices the skin
I have felt the bile rise from the overdose of medicine
I have felt the bruise on my heart from it breaking
But i have not surrendered
Surrendering to the whys is the fastest killing diease
Like a cancer spreading unseenthrough the body
Weakening your soul
And it may never have a cure
I have been through every tough road, or bump
And I have yet to stop the want for an answer
To why?
Bringing you to into my world I will share with you
Something personal, something that can maybe quiet your own whys
I felt my heart break recently
I felt someone who I believe would wait for me
To spend a life with me
But I wasn't worth it to him
"Leave some money on the table as you stroll through town"
I dreamed of him laying next to me
just to awake and him not be there
He has replaced me.
I am non-existent
And my mind wanders back to why.
Why can't I take it back and do it over?
Why can't he come back?
Why is forever never as long as we dream it should be?

This is such a thought-provoking write!
I love your last line, "Why is forever never as long as we dream it should be?" Yep, what *is* forever anyway?
Hmm.. if you plan to revise, perhaps you could correct a couple spelling errors (Surrending= surrendering. non-exsistant=non-existent) and change invisible-ly to.. unseen?
Haha, but great poem you've here!
Thank you so much for your entry and all the best to you!
