Why can't you let me be happy without you?
Why must you make sure that I'm feeling pain?
Why is it so hard for you to tell the truth?
Why did you love me then take it away?

You were the one who laughed at my sorrow.
You never tried to give me your best.
I thought we were fine but your love is hollow.
I thought you were different. You're just like the rest.

Is it my fault for being so blind?
I made a promise that I didn't keep.
I swore I'd never regret our time.
But you are the reason I cry in my sleep.
Whenever someone asks how I am, I lie. I save my truth for my poetry.
