Why
Why did you wake me when you knocked upon my door?
I was happy sleeping, locked inside my shell secure
Why arouse those tender feelings safely hidden, I was strong
Then you left me feeling empty as you didn’t stay for long
I was always in control, all emotions kept in check
But you touched me, you caressed me, tenderly you kissed my neck
You aroused the deepest passion, buried deep for many years
Like a dream almost forgotten along with all the tears
Now I’m longing once again my senses are aglow
But you didn’t stay to hold my hand, the reason I don’t know
I’m not sure if I should thank you for awakening my soul
Or shall I just go back to sleep and let the feelings go
I will thank you for the memory, it was wonderful for me
But can’t thank you for the sadness, once again its I not we
I know it’s really not your fault; I’ve been hiding far too long
But now that I’m awake again, I look and find you gone
Why?
