I scalded my tongue on the dish that was set in front of me with concern

The next bite was heading quick towards my mouth before I even considered the burn

With thoughtless movement I continued to swallow and tried thinking of nothing at all

But even the mindless act couldn't distract from the hate and the pain of it all

What else could I do? I wouldn't just stop living life even though I felt sick

And the funny thing was you were the one who told me my existence was worth it

You held my hand when my heart was broken and all of me shattered to pieces

Told me that I would one day find the one who would treat me as I should be treated

You gave me comfort when I was the lowest and distracted me from the pain

So excuse me if I've a hard time understanding how you could have done me the same

Would you give me a reason? At least a small clue? An explanation for all that you've done?

This is my life that we're talking about, not another game of yours to be won

I guess I should have seen this coming, you were never one to commit

So tell me this, since you've done what you've intended and left me behind:

Was it worth it?
I want answers about why people act the way they do, sometimes
