Tell Me Why! ! ! ! Poem by Belinda Richmond

TELL ME,
Why am I not
so AMUSED?
Because, you are the one that's
ACTING CONFUSED?
TELL ME,
Why am I the one
that's not AMAZED?
I've been pondering
this concept for so
MANY DAYS! !
TELL ME,
Why do you stand
there with a BLANK STARE?
BLANKMINDED, UNDECISIVE
like you don't even CARE?
Out of your mind,
like your not even there?
Not truthful, nor
honest because of your
FEAR?
TELL ME,
Why are you EMBARRASSED
and FEELING SO ASHAMED?
When you're the one, that is to
BLAME?
I'm lead to believe,
That it's a CRYING SHAME
That you're doing the
same BS to me over
AGAIN! !
TELL ME,
why do you think
that I should
STAY?
Even if I would
rather
GO FAR AWAY! !
TELL ME.
Why I should I give
you another
TRY?
When you're trying
to HOLD ON, while I'm
SAYING GOODBYE! ! !
I'm making it clear,
right now and
TODAY! ! !
I think that it's
best that we
go our
SEPARATE WAYS! ! !
