Defence radiated aggression but why

Knowingly taking everything but why

Living of someone's everything but why

But Why

When you could have snuggled up in the same room and bed
When you could have stopped after 27 years and cooked a fried egg
When everything was you as the Daddy's Girl

Who only was waited on
And kept it all a curl

Maybe there was a book
But you live in the towns
Where nice people play for you

And the shadows have the sound

I understand and always did
Why you felt that others
If you did nothing
Would fall over their brothers

To serve you

I just never understood

Why
