Why Did You...?

Why did you tell me
You loved me so much?
Why did you lie,
Then burn me with your touch?

They tell me to forget,
To just let you go.
I try, so hard,
But the tears still flow.

Why did you hurt me
Cutting me deep?
Why did you turn away,
Letting my wounds seep.

I heard the scorn in your voice,
Saw the hate in your eyes,
And stood, shocked, disbelieving
That our times were lies.

Why did you leave me
With a heart of stone?
Why did you laugh
And leave me here all alone?
