reasoning;
that is all she ever asked of you

but she could never bring herself
to release the pressure
from her heart and ask a thought
that festered in her mind:

why?

and don't you dare say it was boredom

plain boredom did not push you to
walk through the doors of her life
with no key or invitation

plain boredom did not push you
to tenderly love her, like a toddler
cherishes their toys

and plain boredom did not push you
to choose her. her, out of all girls

she felt special;
even in times when you made her
feel no more than a speck of
dirt on the ground

what you provided was not love;
but you glorified her, like a wealthy
man flaunts his money

and it felt good to be exhibited like art
