How Would You Like Your Reasons

I have a millions reasons why I keep my love from you Because I'm feeling nice today, I'll give you one or two Or maybe I'll recite them all, the least that you deserve A big cold dish of revenge is the only thing I'll serve Keep your disgusting mouth closed, lie to me no more I'm sure there's infinate reasons, I've not been keeping score Would you like them laid in categories, scattered on the floor Perhaps on headed paper and posted through your door Shouted from the rooftops, or whispered in your ear Shrieked in such a high pitched voice that only dogs can hear Mailed from half the world away may still seem too near I'll spell out every reason in blood and sweat and tears Would you like them round your throat, knotted like a noose Projecting them in 3D, to give your jealous eyes a use Tried to use them to restrain you but my reasons were too loose And when you decline these reasons, I'll make up an excuse. For Paula's Voice of Reson Contest 9th November 2011
