Tell Me Your Reason

tell
me your reason
you want to forget
all the loving kisses
that we once shared

tell
me your reason
for no more smiles
not even a flicker
or glint in your eye

tell
me your reason
why you stopped
holding my hand
out in public
we once walked

it's such a shame
I ever let my heart
escape
into your cage

tell
me your reason
that your eyes betray
when silence
speaks volumes
where are the words
to make me stay

tell
me your reason
before I walk
out the door
a 'f*ck you!' sign
the language
of my hand

reason
what reason
should I take
what would it mean
when it was I
that made
the mistake
