What's The Reason? I'Ll Never Know

Rating: 5.0


` ` `
I told you,
that i loved you,
but you never gave the words in return.
~ ~ ~
What's the reason?
I never asked,
why? because I was foolish.
~ ~ ~
I thought maybe,
for a moment,
you felt the same way.
~ ~ ~
What's the reason?
I'll never know.
~ ~ ~
Was I not good enough,
for those words to come out of you,
whether true or not.
~ ~ ~
What's the reason?
I'll never know,
why you had to go,
even without those words,
'I love you'

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

I like the parallelism of 'What's the reason? ' You have captured a universal experience that is at the same time uniquely personal, which is why it is wonderfully sad. Who understands the human heart and why love is not always recipricated?
