Why

Why you ask,
Because it got
In my way is our
Simple answer as
We are trained to be
Polite even at those oh
So exquisitely revealing
Moments in life which has
So often allowed us not to
Have to declare that we
Are empathetic but too
Polite to express the
Emotion relying on
Our voice to soothe
The savage heart
While we think of
What should
Come next
And how
To make
It seem
To appear
To happen as
Effortlessly as a
Soft kiss looking in
Those eyes trusting and
Secure as we are all polite,
Just don’t get in our way
And everything will be
Peachy fine smiling
A reassuring but
Ever so gentle
Touch on the
Shoulder
Cheek
Neck
And
Then
Goodnight,
Why? Because
It is time.
