Why Do You??

Empty spaces, empty places, empty dreams
Leave them untouched
Do not prop them up with your pillars of
False hopes, false fantasies, false fancies

Why do you weave stories that don't exist?
Why do you imagine feelings that were never there?
Why do you think there is a place for you which never was?

That oasis is just your mirage - a figment of your loneliness
Trying to hold on to something that never was
Trying to feel the emotions that you never experienced
Trying to look for something that you will never have

Why do you think there is an otherwise?
Why do you still hope for the next week?
Why do you think anything will be different?

Mistaken, misunderstood, misjudged
Still hoping that the love that you feel will be enough for one more day
Still hoping that maybe things will indeed happen your way
Still hoping that you are seen to be worthy enough this day

Why do you still think you will be accepted like any other?
Why do you still hope you stand a chance like another?
Why do you still wish you will get more than crumbs and morsels?

Empty spaces, empty places, empty dreams
Leave them untouched
Embrace the emptiness and encompass it in you
For this only is yours today and tomorrow
