Unasked Questions

Once I have felt her die,
Many times have I sensed her cry.
Answer me this,
Oh ignorant bliss:

Why did we chose to fall?
I believe we never did at all.
Why does she inflict her pain?
In my heart I have all to gain.

Doesn't she notice the light within?
Tainted by darkness, marked by sin.
What can de done to heal her?
Send your love in a whisper.

Why so beautiful? Why steal my breath?
To keep it meaningful, surpassing death.
Why should I live this? What should I feel?
So you can treasure the kiss, and learn how to heal.

How do I take her back from the night?
Love's the beacon, be a guiding light.
Why so much pain, so much frustration?
She has lost her path to ascension.

Not in a line I describe what I see,
The woman I love, longing to be...
So I send her my strength and my love,
Surrender my will, to The One Above.
