Reason To Write

Birds tend to need a reason to sing.
Just as I need a reason to write;

And the way you left that night-
Is my plight.

You looked back, as I called your name,
I felt numb,
but thought you'd always return,
That you'd always remain.

I waited in vain,
I shouldn't've stayed,
I should've given chase.

I should've run after you,
But I couldn't find a reason,
Why you couldn't be out on your own,

And now I look out at the rain,
And wonder, in vain,

That if I had gathered you in my arms that night,
If I had kept you inside,

Snuggled you, till morning light,
If you'd still be here my son, my light.

If I had just given reason, gone after you that night,

If I'd just given reason,
I'd have no reason to write.
