A love song for these days of indecision

I Don’t Know Why

A poem

I don’t know why I don’t love you sometimes

I don’t know why I do

But inexplicably

Inescapably

I know that I do

You are where my eyes always want to rest.

You are captivating.

You are real.

I dreamed you up in my dreams

I made you up in my mind

And now you’re here.

I don’t know why I torture you with my endless idiosyncratic regret

I don’t know why I badger you

Even though you yourself are a badger

I don’t know why

And so I’m hoping you’ll tell me

Why.
