Lord Why?

by Marlena - Cancer

Lord why do you allow us to fall in love 
when you know we'll get hurt by the ones
we love.
Why does being in love have to hurt so much?
Why can't you make it be the way my heart 
wants it to be.
Help me understand what love is if it means
not being with the one you love?
Don't I deserve to be happy too.
Why does love come easy for the ones who
know nothing about being in love?
Why do you make me suffer endlessly for 
a love that you'll never allow me to
have.
Give me a piece of mind.
Set my heart free of this love that I 
have inside for a man who will never
see how great my love for him is inside.
Wipe my tears away,
Give me hope and make me strong.
And someday bring me a love that will be
mines and mines alone.
Someone who will be in love with me 
as much as I am in love with thee.
Only then Lord, I'll be able to go on,
and try to forget the one who has caused
great suffering within my heart.

Reason for writing:

    For SMF and realizing that it was never meant to be. Love came too late for us.
