xLx's blog: "This is Why"

Like I said,

whether you heard or not,

through waves crashing

from commotion of ripples

you unknowingly stir,

this is why.

This is why

I crawl up near,

closer than comfort,

to let your breath

on my neck

lull us both

to sleep...

...because that is my home,

not those walls.

And this is why

I sometimes ask

for you to come

and just be around,

not hold me close

or kiss it better,

but just to watch me

when I cry...

...because privacy most sacred

is too small.

Anyway, like I said,

because you never even

really tried,

you merely turn my concepts

inside out, just passing by...

...and then you have

the nerve to ask?

This is why.
