Maybe

Why is it that I cannot sleep
even after I've been bled dry
after your words that cut too deep

Why do you answer with a 'maybe'
when I ask the question
'Do You Love Me?'
You only push me further away
and with tears in my eyes
I no longer have anything to say

So just turn around
try not to trip and hit the ground
drugged out and narcissistic
hate addicted and pain inflicted
I have nothing more to say to you
after all the things I went through
just to say 'I love You' 

This is not myself. This is not me
How could it be?
I would never sacrifice myself
for someone else's health
So why not answer honestly
when I ask you if you love me
We both know what you would say
'No! Now go away'
