Brooke Story Poet Free verse

Why Can'T I

Why can't I?
Why can't I see?
I seem blinded
By something I can't see or know
When I'm around you I don't know what it is
I just want to be yours again
No matter what I do or say
I can't get you out of my head
Why can't I love you?
Because of him
There may never be an us
I don't think I can love you
The way I loved him
I want to move on
With you
But I can't
Just somebody
Anybody
Can you please tell me
Why can't I?
