Why Poem by Randy McClave

Why does my heart keep on beating,
If you are no longer here.

Why does my eyes keep on seeing,
If now they are full of tears.

Why does my ears keep on hearing,
If they cant hear your sound.

Why does my lungs keep on breathing,
If you are no longer around.

Why do I exist without you
I thought for sure that I would lay down and die.
But instead my life, it became meaningless
So I reminisce, then I write and then I cry.
I never knew how life would be without you,
Ever since the day that you first came in,
So I will say again, forever I will love you
But these feelings I know not where to send.

Why does the birds keep on singing,
Don't they know, that my life has been torn.

Why is the sky so happy and blue,
Doesn't it know, that it is time for a storm.

Why are so many souls still in love,
Don't they know that I am all alone.

Why cant the feel the coldness in the wind,
Cant they hear my brain, and my soul moan.
