Puzzling
What really passed between us then?
How did each of us feel?
To me it's still oh so special
And it was very real
There came a point when we spiraled
Cruel words and thoughts exchanged
And disdainful treatment of each
Other’s deep hurts and pains
I thought you had just turned on me!
I was confused and sad
I still can't solve the puzzle of
Why it became so bad
There's a jigsaw piece still missing
Without I cannot see
The underlying reason for
Your animosity
Was it my failure to visit?
Or me not writing back?
Was it my young unfaithfulness?
Or all of these things stacked?
But you reached out to me after
All these various things
Had me hoping for your laughter
Not decades of these stings
Were you still so in love with me?
Your hatred just a fake?
Did your pride make you look so tough
To hide profound heartache?
I will never really know why
'Cause you won't talk to me
I wish we could take a minute
To help each other see
