Why does love hurt? Why can't life be simple? Why do I seem to have an inability to catch a break? Its almost as if strife and pain are attracted to me Like deadly silent moths to the bright shining flame that was my childhood self Warping her twisting her heart and mind into something dark and cruel The light still shines through sometimes From the small girl curled inside my mind Hiding away from what I've become So, pray do tell me Why?
