Why every time I hear those words,
do I allow you to push yourself into my soul?
Into my heart?
To embed yourself within my mind?

Why do I allow you to hurt me so,
To take away a piece of me?
To make me cry?
To sting my soul with your lies?

Why when I tell myself I won’t fall,
Do I only find myself slipping further?
Why do I fall?
Why do I lose so much ground?

Why don’t I just turn away,
From what I know will come?
From the ache?
From the heartache that will follow?

Why?

You pose my favorite but usually most difficult question to answer. For why requires the most complex answer of all.

Manda,
