Why?

Our Soul lay dying
Self-evident truth denying
What lies in this Heart
Tear everything apart!

Scarce these words encrypt,
Preying eyes easily tipped!
We mind this Madness,
Its absence deep sadness

Ourselves a Fool we be,
No question uttered have we?
She can not utter "yes!" see?!
No question she can agree!

How can a question be voiced?
Lay claim to Her with banner hoist!
Heart knows what deed need be done
What wheels need sprung---

The moment a question is asked
Praying the time is not past
Friendship something more see?!
A question she can certainly agree!

It hurts that these lips be gag
Truth to Her we can not flag
Responsibility comes first---
Such is this curse!

How can I lay claim
When everything else is lame?
When the world is not yet right
We bleed, frustrating plight!

It hurts that these lips be gag
Truth to Her we can not flag
Would she not or would she---
Sweet sounding "yes" decree?

Praying the time is not past
Someone else may first ask
She may say "yes" to him decree
Would we fight or set her free?

The latter more likely
She deserves to be happy
But then, after everything done
Us, She may say "no", we be gone!

It hurts that these lips be gag
Truth to Her we can not flag
"yes", "no"--- does she care?
Would we make a good pair?

She be sane-normal, I'd be loony
The difference isn't puny!
Her heart--- is good.
Thats something I understood

More than Her pretty face
More than that sweet grace
More than Her gorgeous smile,
Sparkling eyes, I can not lie.

"yes", "no"--- does she care?
Would we make a good pair?
How can I lay claim
When everything else is lame?

The world is not yet right
We bleed, this is frustrating plight!
