Why Didn'T You Care
Words hurt
They can trip me up
Whilst leaving me to
Pick up the last of
My pride
Over time I have become
Used to the hatred and
To the lies
But that doesn’t mean
That I wasn’t still
Affected by them
Once these words were said
I couldn’t ignore them
And once I heard those words
I couldn’t forget and I
Definitely couldn’t forgive
I would replay the scene
Over and over
While falling down the
Spiral of self hate
Again and again
Until I realised that I was
On my own with no one to
Talk to and no where to go
The only thing I could grasp
Was my constant
Urge to die
So why did you say it?
Why didn’t you care?
