Reason Poem by Wendy Murphy

I’d be lying if I told you I’m glad you went away
And the tears I’ve cried aren’t because of what you say
But every step I made from that very day
Was just putting my foot in the wrong shoe

I’ve forced a smile to front a happy face
Hid my anguish and fell from grace
But deep inside I knew this pace
Was running away from feeling blue

What really happened when you closed the door
To the years we had that you thought I ignored
Was a band-aid on the real sore
Of the hurt I covered from you

I tell myself it all happens for a reason
That this just wasn’t to be the season
Or any time else to be believin’
In what were me and you

Now a year’s gone but we never stopped caring
Its easier to talk and now start sharing
What hurt us the most and our souls are bearing
On what was best for us to do
