Heartache's Bliss

A poem about how unrequited love can tear you apart.

I Don't Know Why-Heartache's Bliss

I don’t know why I can’t be
Everything you want to see
I don’t know why I must stay
Watch you as you walk away

I don’t know why I must need you
And need you now to need me, too
I don’t know why I can’t just leave
See your face and I believe

I don’t know why you are here
Making my life so unclear
I don’t know why I break down
Feel like I’m about to drown

I don’t know why you’re so blind
It’s not that hard to read my mind
I don’t know why I care at all
Why I don’t just give up and fall

I don’t know why I’m not yours
I want this love to run its course
I don’t know all, but I know this
Loving you is heartache’s bliss
