This is Why

September 18, 2017
"Why?"
 you ask 
 when you don't see.

 
 

"because,"
 he says 
 before he makes you believe.

 
 

I,
 the word 
 to show who my brain hates.
 

 
 

Love,
 his explanation 
 for why he stays.

 
 

 
You,
 the one 
 that kept me alive.

 
 

 
Now,
 the time 
 that we have today.

 
 

 
Always,
 why 
 we never say hate.

 

 
 
Forever,
 the reason 
 we know we're okay.
 

 

 
"How can you deal with me?"
 "I don't deal with you,
 I am here
 because I love you."
 And this is the reason that we both always stay.
