Why...

-ILHAM-

When I was a kid

I used to keep questioning

And with a tender smile

they answered me all the while

When I grew up

I kept questioning

But now,those tender smiles were gone

With no promises of an answer

I was the same ever

but they changed

And I didnt know

that time would betray me

But all the same

I kept questioning

With revulsion and pain

They would ask 'Why'?

'Why'?...

I retreat in vain.

There's nothing to do

With my voice sinking

into a sea of silence

No words

No more questions

And 'Why's in return

And no more of myself....
