reasons

i dropped the words like
sugar cubes
onto an overly bitter
cup of coffee
the sweetness
dispersed
but was soon engulfed by the brew

good bye

they did not linger on my lips
both words taking
a breath of hope

why...
was all that you said
but i did not have the answer
i thought you'd be wiser
than that

because i refuse to be part of this maze
that you have formed
you pulled me into it once

i got lost
i lost

now i've found myself again
i'm not coming back into your trap

i deserve more than that.
