Why.. Poem by Raina Hutchins

Why did God create a life
That wasn't meant to be
Why did He give eyes
If they were never meant to see

Why did He put breath in you
Then take that breath away
Why give you to me
If you were never meant to stay

Why show someone happiness
And how it feels to smile
And fill their hearts with hope
If it can only last a while

Why did God create the sun
When all it does is rain
How am I supposed to laugh
When all I feel is pain

I keep calling out your name
In the silence of the night
Praying somehow love like ours
Still exists beyond this life

Why let people dream
Knowing their dreams will not come true
Why should I find someone else
When all I want is you

Why say there's a Heaven
When it doesn't help to pray
Why is there tomorrow
When I long for yesterday

If Heaven holds you in its arms
Tell me somehow, it's true
Because this broken heart keeps beating
Only just to be with you

What's the point in searching
Knowing you're not there to find
Why give someone life
If death is following behind

So why God when He took my love
Did He not take me too
For life is not worth living
If it means I don't have you...
