reason
reasons to cling to
the end of such expectations
as my heart would and has
are big hairy rationalizations
monsters hiding in the closet
in nights I have grown
more comfortable with
but not wholly accustomed to
nights grown less lonely
but more alone than ever
and no reason to have to take
such matters on faith
when promises are made
into vows the heart has a right
to expect
