Carol Mitra Poet Rhyme

Just Because

Just because I chose, not to complain
That didn’t mean I felt no pain
Just because I listened, to the breeze
That didn’t mean winds blew with ease
Just because you held grudges,on your finger tips
That did mean I gave your hand the slip
Just because I liked the smell of the rain
That didn’t mean you could make me cry again
Just because I embraced courage
That didn’t mean there was no damage
Just because I smiled in the sun
That didn’t mean my needing was done
Just because I wore my heart on my sleeve
That did not mean you could get up and leave!
