Why is a word that haunts me most,
the simple questions lingers with unfulfilled promise.
Like a wave, I drowned in its depths.
Mostly at night,
lying awake staring at nothing I hear it reverberating.
Like a Grandfather Clock the pendulum swings;
Why?
Why not?
Why?
Why not?
In the listless way that time passes.
A trickle of regret, as the unknowable permeates the mind.
Why? Why?
