Why? Poem by Jodie Louise Pollock

Why? Why? Why?
The reason I cry,
I don’t know why,
People still pry,

Know, Know, Know,
The reason I feel so low,
What do you know?
Even though it was long ago,

So why?
Just why?
Do you know?
The reason so,

My dream is gone,
And so are you,
Don’t know what I done,
Don’t know what to do,

Are you there?
Did you leave me?
Did you care?
Or did you just deceive me?

You lied,
I cried,
I cried for days,
You hurt me in many ways,

I don’t want to be here,
I’m thinking about suicide,
Losing you was my only fear,
That’s what I felt inside,

So why? Why? Why?
Why do I feel so small?
Because you let me try,
Then watched me slowly fall,

Why do that?
What did I do wrong?
Why do that to me?
Why do it for so long?
Then tell me it’s not right,
You only wanted that one night,
You don’t feel,

You believe nothing was ever real.
