Why Didn't You?

If you didn't want me anymore,

Why didn't you just tell me,

Instead of leading me on

And pretending everything was okay?

If you lost respect for me,

You lost love for me, too.

Why didn't you own up

To what you were feeling before?

The greif would have been sooner,

You would have lost me faster.

But you didn't just lose me,

I lost you, too.

Why didn't you tell me

What was happening to us?

I never saw a thing.

This all hit me like a truck.

I lie alone every night

Not sleeping like I should.

My every thought is of you,

Just like it has always been.

Why didn't you show me sooner?

Why didn't you let me know?

Why didn't you tell me "No more?"

Just, why didn't you?

I suppose I will eventually understand why.

But not now.

For now, I will sit alone in my bathroom,

Watching my sadness drip red down the drain.
