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?
