Why Do You Make Me Cry

Why do you make me cry?

I'm sorry
I make mistakes,
I'm sorry
I'm not perfect.

But you
Keep screaming,
Your voice
Always raises,
Your hands
Grasp me.

I loved you
A lot,
But you never
Said it back.

One mistake
And I'm thrown out,
On the street
I sit,
Crying
As I wonder how I can fix this.

Is it my fault
That I'm not perfect?
Or is it your fault
You never realized this?

With every breath
My heart cracks a little more,
