Reasons

Reasons why?

Some reason,

Any reason,

Please take your time.

 

I have every long day,

And every cold night,

To wait.

 

Every change of the season,

Every passing holiday.

If we must,

I have all the days.

 

I only wished to know,

Simply, why?

Why must you lie?

 

You wasted my time,

All of it spent.

Every last penny,

And every last dime.

 

All my love too,

I gave it to you.

Funny how,

All of me,

Now belongs to you.

 

I had only asked,

You'd love me too.

I warned,

And I cautioned,

"Long road ahead,

Hopefully, you're committed."

 

You said,

All my love is yours,

And all yours to keep.

 

Funny how,

I'm not the only one,

Who believed this,

To be true.

 

So please,

Without further ado,

Mr. Heart Breaker.

 With his endless reasons,

In which why,

Nothing he ever said,

Was true.
