I do not know why I do this <br />Why I cheat on myself <br />By cheating on you. <br /> <br />Why do I make committments <br />That I cannot fulfill <br />Because I never committed myself to you. <br /> <br />Why do I dream of someone as twilight draws on <br />When I know my dreams will never come true <br />Because I am just another dream you saw. <br /> <br />Why do I take pleasure in those secret meetings <br />When I know the pleasure will dull out <br />Because of the pain I cause you. <br /> <br />Why do I make myself known to another <br />When I should be only knowing you <br />Because you have known only me. <br /> <br />And though I am always running away from you <br />Why at the end of it all <br />I am always running back to you. <br /> <br />And yet I just can’t figure it out <br />Why I cheat on myself <br />By cheating on you!<br /><br />Aneesha Myles<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/why-461/
