I Wonder why



I wonder why,they all thought of me
As a court,deemed my destiny
To be hanged is thy
For an unjust crime
I wonder why,they bothered and tried
It seems now comes my time
For only loving my wife in kind
Others why's in mind,i now find
It seems love makes us all blind
Even now so intertwined were unable to unbind
I wonder why,comes to mind
In your heart,serenity i hope i find
In good and kind,your soul is to hypnotize
To ask why...oh to in light always try
Your soul spell is the story of told and tell
Under light time seems to wither and dry
Though ill look back and live in these memories so when i die
As the noose let loose,i wondered why.
