You Wonder Why

You wonder why I have so much anger But did you ever look at yourself Did you ever think that it might be you? After you have blamed everyone else Our greatest moments were also the worst In my heart, all I felt was pain Did you only want to treat me good? So that when I asked, why do you hurt me? You didn’t have you explain Did you really care about my needs? Because it seemed like a moral obligation So that when everything was all said and done You left me without hesitation In my pain, did you view me as weak? Did you feel that you were better that me? Were you happy in my distress? Did I not give enough reciprocity? How did I really make you feel? Did you enjoy being in my presence. I guess that question answers itself. Because while I ask this, you’re not even present You wonder why I am through with you I admit I was blind but now I see. The only person trying to hold things together Was me. You wonder why I don’t trust you. The relationship we built was a lie I did my all to be there for you But for me you didn’t even try.
