Why?

I do not understand why,
I need to know you,
Not as you?

*

Why can’t our friendship be,
Without,
Fear of knowing,
Without,
Fire of misunderstanding?

*

Why can’t I know you,
As you.
And not,
As someone
You,
Try to be.

*

Why do I have to wear a mask,
To
Have you,
To talk to you,
To be with you?

*

Why can’t you accept me,
As me?

*

Why do we have to,
Worry about
Others?
When all that matters to me,
Is
You!

*

What do you have to
Hide?
What do you
Fear?

*

Why can’t we be together,
As us?
Why do we have to,
Meet behind
Cloaks?

*

Why?
