Why

When things fell apart
You picked me up
When I fell apart
You stood by me
When i couldn't see my abilities
You pointed your ways
When i gave up
You showed me the way

My question is why?
Why did you take your time
To save my time?
What was precious about me that
You could not leave me alone?

I hurt you more than they hurt me
I left you in the dark
And you had no one to light for you
I left you for Him
And you waited for me
We both know we cant be

Why?

I am breaking you apart
And i cant do anything for you
I have too much love 
But for some reason
I keep giving it away to wrong people
Knowing that you wait in line for it

I am sorry for crushing your heart
For breaking every single hope you
Have had to pieces
I am sorry that your plot is  fluctuating
I am sorry that you have unwillingly
Called me a fool
I am sorry that you went to bed with a broken heart
At times because of me
I am sorry that you cursed my love at some point

I wish you would swallow your love for me
I wish you pack it and give it away to her, desiring it
I hate seeing your look, each time
I tell you its me and him time
And we both know, i come back to lie in your chest and cry
To feel its warmth and smile
I use you and you know it
Even though you are warm and gentle
He is cold and rough and yet i want him

Even though i quench his thirst
I am not enough for him
But for you i seem to be enough

Why do you do this to yourself?
