And I don't know Why

And I Don't Know Why.

Tears sprout flowers in my eyes again
My heart is wet and damp with pain
And I don't know why.

Fire burns my smoking gaze
My smile is killing my livid face.
And I don't know why.

My limbs are numb and fall listlessly
My mouth is dumbing down so shapelessly
And I don't know why.

My breath screams for water assuage it's thirst.
My throat constricts but my heart will burst.
And I don't know why..

Not knowing what ails me I blindly hold
Every treasure in a child's stronghold.
I kiss the sun rays of bright gold
And I don't know why
But hope glows bold
Flows through the silver
Of cooling days
There's water to drink but I won't taste unless
You offer me your grail of lovely wine.
And I think I knew it all the time.
