Lover's Lament

Why?

By kasey greshamPublished 4 years ago 1 min read

I sit here everyday asking myself "Why?"

Why did you go and do this?

Why did you break my heart?

You promised me forever

Now here we are apart.

Not because of something I did,

You say it's something you wanted.

Now I feel incomplete.

As cliche as it sounds,

You were my missing piece.

Most of me still loves you, but theres a part of me that's mad.

That you gave up so easily and threw away the love we had.

So even though I love you still,

I hope you feel the guilt.

I hope you break and cry.

I want to see the tears run from your eyes.

I want you to feel this.

I want you to feel the hurt.

I want you to feel this.

I want you to writhe and squirm.

I want you to feel this.

I want you to lie awake at night.

I want you to feel this.

I want you to feel like you're not alright.

I want you to feel this.

I want you to feel.

I want you to.

I. Want. You.
