Why Did You?
You danced for happiness.
Why did you leave?
You danced for sadness.
You didn't stay.
I want you back!
Why did you leave me?
I sang for joy,
I ran away.
I sang for sadness.
I couldn't stay.
I couldn't find you...
You were gone!
"Where are you??" I yelled at night
for so long.
"I miss you!!" I cried.
I ran some more.
"I hate you!!" I screamed.
I lied even more.
