Stray Memories

Why is it,
that we wish upon,
such useless stars,
when they won't come true?

Why is it,
that we fall for,
such people in our lives,
when they will eventually go away?

Why is it,
that our words,
such meaningless to others,
when they mean the most to us?

Why is it,
that we cry,
such giant tears,
when you don't know why you do?

My mouth shuts,
for I don't know the anwsers.
My eyes close,
wondering how we could live without these questions.

Yet we keep on asking away,
and never stop to wonder,
how we are affecting others,
with such out-of the world thoughts.

"Live your live to the fullest",
"Forget the past",
"Live in the now",
but the past overcomes me...
