Oh Why
Oh my soul how it yearns
Crying out from loneliness as the earth turns
Searching for someone who may never come
All of my efforts make up a sum
Of the things I do as I sit at home
Oh why must I be alone?
It must be me, I say over and over
While my self esteem it runs for cover
Kindness and caring and loving and sharing
These things mean nothing in a world that's staring
Into my soul, my own true home
Oh why must I be alone?
I profit not from words of wisdom
written in a book
For paper and ink cannot save a man
whose heart has been took
For a ride on a rollercoaster of joy and sadness
Of intimate passions and furious madness
Into my heart the words are sewn
Oh why must I be alone?
Furious am I that my beauty is ignored
By seemingly everyone that I love and adore
In the past I've been guilty of the same infraction
And those I have shunned must share my reaction
My penance for sure is to feel this fate
So that the wrongness of my acts I may appreciate
Forever more my soul must atone
Oh why must I be alone?
