a poem I wrote when feeling pensive.

Why do we lock our hearts
And not let anyone in

Why do we refuse to feel what we feel
When it doesn’t feel right

Why do we build homes in our hearts
That fall apart, yet we still live in them

Why do we cling to the last vestages
Of a life we once loved
And never really see the life we live now

Why do we deny the ones who love us
simply because we fear we can’t be loved

Why do we love blindly
And yet expect to see what it is we love

Why do we lock the door to our hearts
Yet look to see who it is that is knocking

Why do we love
And yet fear to love at all

This is a nice piece. It's very thought-provoking. And I also take a liking to the assonance in the piece.

Lol, thanks.

Thanks, and the rhyming thing was just to tease raven.

This is good. I'd change the title to something a little more thoughtful? This piece seemed to have a falling quality, like all the linew were rushing, rushing to a common end. It's a common style, but an affective one. Well penned.

Cody, it's a nice piece. I'd like to hear more of them in the future.
