Please, please, try to understand, <br />if not for a day, then for a night. <br />Please, try to see the light of reason, <br />the rays of truth and right. <br />Please, don’t throw away what we have, <br />of what we had if it is in the past. <br />Please, why do you leave me so, <br />heartbroken and stuck in the moot. <br />Please, why won’t you let me penetrate <br />the castle of your heart? <br />Please, why do you have to so <br />diligently stand guard. <br />Please, do not give me that look, <br />so full of sadness and doubt. <br />Please, what did I ever do to deserve being shut out, <br />what have I done to dishonor your trust. <br />Please, oh valiant knight upon the wall, <br />what have I done to forsake your love? <br />Please, doubtful gentleman at the ball, <br />don’t be so remote, not at all. <br />Please, please, try to understand, <br />I never betrayed your heart in the night. <br />Please, try to see that in protecting <br />yours, mine was taken instead. <br /> <br />Ah, there, I see it! <br />Reason has finally come to your eyes. <br />You finally see the justice of the night. <br />Do you notice how I tremble <br />at the sight, of my noble knight fighting <br />for my right? <br />Swept up in your strong embrace, <br />I finally can bring my broken heart <br />back to rights. <br />Thanks for trying to understand.<br /><br />Brooke Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/please-try-to-understand/
