Why? Why? Why?
July 2013
Why didn’t I say something?
I missed you.I like you.
I want to see you soon.
Why didn’t I do something?
Hugged you.Kissed you.
Held your hand.
Why didn’t you say something?
I want you.You look good.
It’s good to see you.
Why didn’t you do something?
Reached out.Sat closer.
Wrapped me in your arms.
Why? Why? Why?
Because I was scared.Because you don’t know.
Because we still have to work it out.
Are the initial questions posed to yourself, and you are also the one that answers? The self-reproach and regret in this is nicely unsettling.
ReplyDeleteThat is exactly what it is. I'm glad it's "Nicely unsettling" rather than just unsettling :P although reading through this I realized that I shouldn't have answered in the 3rd and 4th but should have kept them posed as questions if I wanted to keep the perspective the same. It may be confusing that the first two have me answering my questions and the next two are, I guess, being answered by him. and in the same thought the last stanza switches from me, to him, to us... comments?
