I Don't Know Why

This is NOT supposed to be an angsty "He doesn't like me for who I am" teen poem. I'm just saying because if my dad reads this he'll think I'm writing angsty teen love poems. The emphasis is on FRIEND

I don't know why

I ended up here tonight

Cold in the rain

Swallowed by the pain as I

Watch you walk away

 

I don't know why today of all days I decided it was

Enough

I don't know why

I chose to take off my mask today

To reveal what's behind that bit of masquerade

To reveal my truth

My real self

 

I don't know why I chose to be myself today

Truly myself

The prisoner I kept deep inside for far too long 

In order to be among

The many you love

And be

Your friend

 

I don't know why I made you cry

I don't know why I said those things

I don't know why I turned away when your tears began to fall

 

But somehow I realize

All is too late

There's nothing I could do

To put the mask back on

Forgive me

Friend

For all I've done to you.

 

Your tears fall steadily

As you turn away from me

We were both drenched with rain

Cold and shivering

Our friendship broken

 

I don't know why

I like this. And I agree with WindSong, your writing is easy to relate to, and that's really a good thing. :)

Sometimes you can't get back the one you love! Your poem is very beautifully written and very easy to relate to.
