Reasons Why

You wonder why I look away? 

My four reasons I will say. 

My heart is touched. 

First is thought to be an excuse, 

I am overcome with things of no use. 

In life, a great treasure, 

to love and be loved.

My hope rests. 

Second begins with warmth,

and a connection with emotion.

Like a thawing fire, 

my heart on a pyre. 

This love could be,  

the love that sets me free.

My hope stands still.

Third returns your look,

what curious things I find,

to fill all my time. 

And this sense of mine,  

I reason with no rhyme. 

My hope is lost. 

Fourth renews my muse,

and things I thought could not be mine.

my heart on the line.

I wonder at the return, 

my affections for yours.

I thought could never be, 

that one such as you, 

Could love such as me. 

My heart is full.
