Why Would You Do That?

Why would you promise what was unkeepable? Why would you take my 
heart and tear it in half? Why would you say what you don't mean and don't mean 
what you say? There was no surprise in my disapponitment, i knew it would 
come. My surprise comes from your ruthlessness as you tore me to pieces. And i 
am angry...but not with you don't get me wrong, I am angry with myself for silently 
allowing you to ruin me. Take my heart, rip it in half,stomp on it, and spit. My final 
and last question is, " Why would you do that?"
