How Could You? Poem by Emily Casbourn

If I had a gun pointed at me
You wouldn't help me
How could you let it fly?
If I was sick and unwell
You would just sit there and laugh
Nothing about this is funny
You can't waste every thought on yourself
I waited for you to show me your heart

I wasted my breath waiting for you
You don't even care
You knew I was upset
You just stared
Not a single hug
Not a single sigh
You just sat there!

You never knew you hurt me
So darling heres to you
I toast all you jerks and jerkettes
You wouldn't get it at all

People aren't rocks
Show some respect
And HOW DARE YOU COMPARE
I wasted away to a wilted rose
I just left you all alone

How could I you say?
I did this because now you know how it hurts
All those times I needed a hug
Every day I wanted a hello
I hate you for all you've done
I love you for teaching me this stuff

Now I know who to look out for
The crabs who make it rough
Don't think I'm sorry
I am seriously not
I am done with you
Were through

How could you?
You just sat there and let her cry
I don't know you
I never knew you
How could you?
Good-bye

*Faints*
