Why?

I love you,

but you—

you hurt me.

What you once laughed at,

I say it now and you

call me an idiot.

We laughed together,

now I laugh while you

insult me,

I laugh while crying

inside.

What changed?

What made such a

beautiful friendship

die?

Why do you do this?

Can I recover the past

or is it gone forever?

I still love you—

why do you hate me?
