Why? Poem by John Roberts

Why?



I heard this girl say
Why do you treat me this way?
Never thought it was me
But i lock our love away
And couldn't find the key

I search up
I search low
I search and search
But my love wasn't unfold
I look around
I look beneath
I look and look
But couldn't find that key

Eyes started to cry
Fingers started to bleed
Head started to hurt
But still my baby was leaving me

Until that moment of my past
I found out that i was putting her last
I'm leaving her the money, the car and the house at last.

She tells me she don't want those things
She wanted a man who can cherish her name
I was a dog once
And a fool twice
But i was loosing my baby
That same night

I wanted to run
I wanted to die
I wanted to find out just why

I ask the question
Was it me?
She just stared and cried.
And said you don't love me.

Love You, Love You
I scream out and said
You're my clock, my world, my wife, and my every-thing
But she says I was lying in the mist of everything

Lies that she said I told
Had me in the dark with my arms unfold
Why? Why? I shout out loud

I gave her gifts
Gifts like a house but i realized that
Diamonds are girls' best friend
You was a fool
To have your woman go insane

Now i pray to get her back
But she wasn't feeling me like that
I said Baby o Baby outside her parents' house
She just cut the light off at the middle of the night
Why, why lord tell me why

A voice said
It's you son
So she's tired putting up a fight
You said you love her
You said you care
But you forgot that you promised
That you're always be there.
