Can You Tell Me Why? In Memory of Benjamin Keough R.I.P.

Can You Tell Me Why?

Can you tell me why this came?

This horrible day so full of pain?

This thing so terrible

It has no name

Can you tell me why?

Can you tell me where to go?

I have no answers and I need to know

I can't even see

Which way to go 

Can you tell me why?

Can you tell me how to stop?

This time that broke me and the clock?

It's frozen in time

And it's all I've got

Can you tell me why?

Maybe  "Why" is not the right question

Maybe " How" is not even close

Maybe " Someday" is all I'll ever get

Maybe I'll have to accept "I Don't Know."

I've searched my mind and I've searched my heart

And torn my memory book apart

That the End has come now when the Beginning should start

Can you tell me why?

Grief, it is an angry thing

It steals your joy like a hawk on the wing

It swoops down and grabs you and forbids you to sing

Can you tell me why?

These questions come from my sorrowing soul

Down where it's dark and deep and cold

My beloved will never be, like me, growing old

Can you tell me why?

I didn't think so.

Benjamin and his Dad, Danny
