Give Me a Reason
Give me a reason
and pretend that this is all real
Give me a reason
why i should stay round
Give me a reason
and try to hide my tears
Give me a reason
that I will actually believe
Give me a reason
that I should forgive you
Is it to wrong
to being able to know the truth?
Apparently I cant even speak
for I have to always be quiet
Oh well
I'm breaking the silence
Give me a reason
that you love me
Give me a reason
why you gave me a second chance
Give me a reason
why you broke my heart several times
Give me a reason
that actually will not hurt
Give me a reason
why should i care?
Give me a reason
why I shouldn't just end it?
Everyone that I have ever met
has given me a reason
but will you?

The second stanza is very messy. Get your vocab duster on it! Repition is a tricky one: It can work, but I think every other line makes the poem seem quite lazy. The final stanza shows the promise of the piece though, with a nice play on theme.
