I haven’t written poetry in a very long time, however this little beauty was inspired by Lady Gaga’s song, A Million Reasons. This was also quite personal to write, but I also found it very therapeutic. Poetry is not my usual forte, but I think this one turned out quite well.
I have 100 things I want to say to you, but 101 reasons not to say anything.
I have 100 reasons to trust you, but 101 reasons not to.
I had 100 reasons to stay, but 101 reasons to run.
I have wanted to text you 100 times, but I’ve had 101 reasons to put my phone down.
I have 100 reasons to want to see you, but 101 reasons to stay away.
I have 100 reasons to cry over you, but 101 reasons to keep my eyes dry.
I have 100 good memories with you that occupy my mind, but 101 bad ones that still haunt me.
I have 100 reasons to fight for you, but 101 reasons to lay down my sword.
I had 100 reasons to believe it would work out, but 101 reasons to stop kidding myself.
I have 100 reasons to still care about you, but 101 reasons to wish I didn’t.
I have wanted to go back to you 100 times, but I’ve had 101 reasons to stop myself.
I have 100 reasons to let you walk out of my life, but 101 reasons why I don’t want you to go.
I have 100 reasons to be angry with you, but 101 reasons I can’t hold onto that anger.
I have 100 reasons to hate you, but 101 reasons why I can’t.
I have 100 reasons to just let you go, but 1 reason I can’t: I still miss you.
