Why Poem by Mark Beard

Torn between reality and fiction
My obligation to a friend
Where is the line?
Do I cross it?
Or do I watch her burn!
Commitment from a far
Broken promises...
False hopes... Why?
Why does he continue to persue?
Why does he lead her on?
Does he know she hurts?
Does he care...Why?
Is this about his ego? ?
Is it reality or is it fiction?

Why do the people that care get hurt?
Why do I feel mad! ! !
Why do I feel tormented? ? ?
Busy people, sad people, lonely people...Why?
Should we offer to commit when we can't?
Or do we stay where it's safe?

Pushing her away...Why
Willing to accept any attention
Is this reality or is this fiction?
Why do I torture myself
Why? ? ?
Because I love her...
