It's Because You Can Love

By Haley A.K.A. MyNameisHaley

"Open your eyes," you say.

"Don't worry – it'll be okay."

I trusted you, I had faith in you.

But then, without thinking,

It all went away.

Seventeen years have passed

And here I am, replaced

The spell you had cast

Has gone for better days

I leave without thinking,

All choices in other hands

My friends and I linking

But lives now depends.

And now here I sit,

Thinking about lives lost

And my best friends are knit

And say, "It was the cost."

Yet, I'm too brave to cry

Yet too scared to be brave

So now I ask why

Was this all okay?

I face my future 'head

And see the most worst

Nothing but pure evil

Like this evil curse.

And I stop myself to ask

Why? Why do I care?

Is is because it's my destiny cast?

Is it because I can dare?

"No," says someone wise, "It's because,

You can love."
