Why Can't?

Why was there no ripple in the river
after I cast a pebble on it's face?
Why can't I not be overwhelmed by the sun?
Why wasn't I filthy when I was drenched in mud?
Why can't I see myself in the mirror?
Why can't I sink when I want to?
Why can't I feel pain when I am wounded?
Why was I able not to say what I must say to you?
Why can't I be beside you when the night awakens?
Why can I love what I must not?
Why can't you see through me when I am open?
Why can't you take me when no one's taking?
Why can't I say that I love you when I mean that?
