Musings by The Poet Loriet
Why Not?
Is it the city water,
too limey for you?
Perhaps, the way
cushions slide off my couch,
wrong brand of toothpaste,
bed too soft,
too hard,
too much...
not-where-you-want-to-be?
Are my Cheerios
not cheery enough?
Is my smile
not warm enough?
Does my embrace
leave you cold?
Loving you
could be so easy.
Tell me, honey...
why it's so hard
for you to love me?

too limey for you?
Perhaps, the way
cushions slide off my couch,
wrong brand of toothpaste,
bed too soft,
too hard,
too much...
not-where-you-want-to-be?
Are my Cheerios
not cheery enough?
Is my smile
not warm enough?
Does my embrace
leave you cold?
Loving you
could be so easy.
Tell me, honey...
why it's so hard
for you to love me?
