Why Did It All Begin?



You were like home to me
but I should have known
that home would deceive
that's all it had ever shown

Somehow I felt I belonged
Like a warm blanket form
All my life by family wronged
You always seemed so warm

Just once I had some faith
Or at least I thought I did
Years of try, and wait
But who was I trying to kid

My future just by virtue of
having known you will be
affected by your rejection
but I just knew it was for love.

Blind to the real truth, somehow
not mature as I should have been
makes me take a look back now
and wonder why did it all begin?

They say all is for a reason
there's purpose that shines
You said we were just for a season
then why didn't you just leave it behind?

I wonder, why did it all begin?
toying to get thru a day?
but I didn't feel that way,
not at all; it felt like sin.

Alls not well why did it begin
I don't know, can't make sense of it
I look back, and know I wouldn’t do it again
You kicked me down, my emotions in a pit.

Why did it all begin, what was it all for?
Something inside me wants to know why.
Why was there at one time an open door?
Why were we put in each ones path
for it to only die?

Please know this, I don’t miss
any of the hurt, or pain.
I just wonder what it was all for
Why did we, for so long, remain?

Well I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender...Dido

SharaRose, sad reading, sad time.  It would be nice if you could have the meaning of the time spent.  Sometimes we don't figure that out until long after.  I hope 2004 is a happy year for you.  lol

Copperbell thank you for the read. I appreciate the comment. True..it is sad when you don't know it's purpose. Happy New Year to you.  

Ethel- I appreciate you so much, but please don't be sorry, because I'm not, I'm relieved. I'm glad it's all over. I still wonder what was the real purpose for that much time out of mine and this person's life. Oh well I guess there are things we will never know. Happy New Year to you and your Gary, too. Love, and Hugs!

Iliana--Maybe you are right. Maybe it will be long down the road, all I know is I'm just glad it's over, and done. Not a thing I would go back to *EVER* again. Not ever! No thank you. Thanks for the read. Happy New Year to you.

GoodKnight--Thanks Paul for sharing yours. I was reading, and it made me think about this one I was about to submit at the time. Yes it's true I did learn from my mistakes so I do know my future will be happier now. Here's hoping your sad memories turn to joys for you!! Happy New Year to you!!!

HockeyChick--Thank you for stopping to read. This is just me trying to get it all on the outside, and try to figure it all out, but there is one thing I can be sure of, and that's I will be much happier now. Happy New Year!

Jaicie--I am sorry you have had to feel this. Life is much clearer now that I am MUCH wiser. It's really too bad people take advantage of the vulnerabilities of others, but they do. Happier times. You bet! Happy New Year to you, and I hope your pain is far behind you.

Terri~
