And That's What Hurts

Not willing, or wanting
Not caring

You couldn’t be!
If you DID then you would
But you don’t, so you can’t be

Blinded by pain perhaps?!
But an excuse is only an excuse for so long
And it HAS been so long!

Yet still you do not see
What you should see
Not only do you not see
You WON'T see

That is the true travesty of it all
The fact that you refuse
Even though you could
You have made up your mind that you won’t

Not willing or wanting
Not caring

You couldn’t be!
If you did then you would
But you don’t, so you can’t be
