Why can't I?

Why can't I be enough?

Staring at you to see

Holding hands like it's meant to be

All the way to morning at three

Why can't I be more?

The hugs and kisses

Nighttime wishes

Wishing for more but knowing it'll never be different

Why can't I be further?

Getting over my addiction of meth

Sitting under the moon mourning for death

Hearing you sing with light breath

Why can't I be zero?

Listening to the wind howl for hours

Pulling petals off flowers

Hoping for my thoughts to go louder

Why can't I be nothing?

Singing like it's make believe

And trying hard not to be naive

While taking in hate I recieve

Why can't I be there?

Scratching out thoughts of hate

Trying not to take the bait

Arriving at my goal late

Why can't I?

Crying all the way to noon

Stars shining over the moon

Unity like a tune
