Why? (A Poem of Ashley's Infidelity)

She said she’d love me forever That I was why she lived, why she breathed They were all lies Oh, how well she deceived me I was the sun in her sky The stars in her night When I was lost in darkness, She was my light I watched him with jealousy As I watched her infidelity Why did she do this to me? I’m broken down A sad clown There’s nothing left for me in this world I thought I had it made I thought I had undying love from this girl She lied to me Said I was the reason she awoke everyday Why I believed her lies? I’ll never know But she sits there and lies, Saying, “I wish it wasn’t so.” But I know she never truly loved me And all I can say is, “Why Ashley? Why?”
