WHY NOT

I have 
No swagger 
I place 
No blame 
I take 
Each day
Cause none
Are the same.
I have 
No pretensions 
I call 
My shots
Others ask
Why
I say
Why not. 

HOW

How can 
We live 
In a world so cold 
A world where no one 
Looks out 
For the young 
Or for the old
Where people 
With nowhere to go
Sleep in the streets 
Where you don't 
Even care
And act like 
You don't see
Tell me how 
HOW CAN THIS BE?

AND

Sometimes love dies
And
There's no way
To bring it back
And
All you have left
Are the memories 
Of how it
Used to be
Of how you thought 
It would always be.
Sometimes what 
We want cannot be
For reasons not known 
And
Not understood.
The heart is
A lonely hunter
Fractured unsure.
And
...SOMETIMES LOVE DIES 

GOODBYE

I was so young
So naive
Thought your love
Was the reason
For me to breathe
Bought your lies
Each and every one
That you sold
Believed your words
All that you told.
I was young then
But not anymore
Leave your key
Shut the door
...THIS IS GOODBYE

THIS MOMENT

Today is all
That we have
So let's not leave it
Up to circumstance
Or to chance
Tomorrow is but
A promise
On the wind
And yesterday
Will never come
Back again.
Live your dreams
Don't let them
Wither and die
But keep them
In your heart
And always
In your mind
For this moment
Is all that
We have
A mere promise of
Fate and Circumstance.
