Reality

There is cause to mourn
this lost chance,
our regrettable breakdown
in communication.
There are reasons
and rationalizations
for every step I took
away from you.
Yet there is no explanation
why, when love clasped
us safe in her embrace,
we found ways to circumvent
and means to effect
this separation.
Am I naive,
were you afraid?
Or is the thought
that no one can love me
a belief I force
into reality?
