Why

why do you
glare at me
why do you
stare at me
what in my face
reflects your hate
reflects distrust
you don't know me
or do you

in my face
do you see
the woman
who scorned your father
do you see
the woman
who refused to help
your mother .. sister .. brother ..
do you see
the woman
who could help but didn't
or wouldn't
or couldn't

is that why
your eyes cloud
when they touch mine
so I only have left
to ask
why don't you
