Why?

Why?
By Quizmo LaGrande

Why, oh why, do I live so on high,
Starry light glitter taint fills my eyes?
Rose colored glass firm perched on this nose
That shows only happiness, god only knows.

Why, oh why, when I suddenly blink
I’m standing knee deep in a vat of pink ink,
The muckiest muck, pink pot of lies
The glasses askew, I have to ask, why?

Why must you worry when something goes wrong?
Just fix it, I say, you’ll feel better and strong.
Why do you wonder when love passes by?
This is just practice for the next perfect sigh.

Why, oh why, when the misty night comes
Do I sing a love song in hopes he’ll succumb
By the fire light strumming my poem of lament?
For loving full faithful, but for love, ne'er repent.
