"Why?"

Lost in this infernal void

my emotions growing numb

passing lost shadows of thought

and then contradiction comes

Thinking about you

and I thought you cared about me

I can't look in your eyes

and believe what it is I see.

I gave you friendship

and love

I gave you all that you asked for

and that was not enough

you still wanted more and more.

And well, I give up now

I'm trying to just move on

nothing else left here for me

this journey has been too long.
