Why would you pity such a sweet thing?
Give her your heart and then walk away?
Why would you pity such a sweet thing?

Sing her sonnets in the sunlight
and talk her to languages she don't understand?
Magic thoughts out of fairytales
in a dream she once had?

Why would you care for such a sweet thing?
Tell her all that she desires and drop your hand?
Why would you care for such a sweet thing?

Show her mountains and oceans
and take her on adventures unabound?
Light her fire with a single match
and watch as it dies out beneath your feet?


Why would you taste such a sweet thing?
Have your fill and eat some more besides?
Why would you taste such a sweet thing?


A fountain flows more lightly than a stream
with no point for beginning or end
Why begin on a journey with no map
Why become the enemy and not the friend?

Why would you pity such a sweet thing?
A lost swallow falling in flight?
Why would you pity such a sweet thing?

Heart....How doust thou love now
trapped in a wall of freedom
of your own doing and tears..
Heart...blind i am to your beat

Why?
Would you pity such a sweet thing?

Oh, to live as one wishes—
Free from money, feelings, and ***** dishes.

Able to run in the fields and admire the stars,
sip tea at night and heal from your scars.

To learn, to grow, and think thoughts unabound...
To sing loudly and sadly with no one around.

To bother another with trifles of life
And forget the wonders...forget the strife.

People are wonderful, full of mystery and sorrow,
But I hate the ones who only think of tomorrow,

And cease to love the beauty in this world,
And think only of money, and drinks to be hurled,

With no rhyme or reason, no purpose at all,
Nothing to appreciate , no reason to fall.

Indifference my enemy, I can’t stand the grey...
People of no opinion, this is your warning: stay away.
