Why?

- This poem is about a guy I was (and am) madly in love with, and I thought he loved me too, until I found out that he's actually gay. Anyway, this is my broken heart, put into a poem. Hope you enjoy it. -

Why is that smile so perfect
When it makes me want to cry?
And how can you wear it
When you look me in the eye?

Why do those eyes still sparkle
As mine shed tears of pain?
Why do you still talk to me
As though it's all the same?

Why can't I stop looking at you
Even though you're what makes me weak?
Why is it that after a hard day
It's your company I seek?

Why are you always around
When my heart feels the urge to break?
Why is it that you always seem
To give more than you take?

Why does that laugh make me tremble
And light up every joy in me?
Why when I go to sleep at night
Is it always your face I see?

Why do I still want you to love me
So terribly it makes me scream?
Why do you still embody
My every living dream?

Why don't you see how I hurt
Or see the pain beneath my smile?
Why can you make me burn with sorrow
And still fall in love with you all the while?

Why are you with him
When you should be with me?
Why can't I just accept
That we weren't meant to be?
