Why Should I?
Why should I ruin my life?
By spending a day with you.
When all you do is stab me in the back with a knife,
and unfortunately it is something I can't undo.
Why should I feel bad about myself?
When it's you who should be ashamed.
I have tucked my cares in a box and set them on the highest shelf.
That way I can no longer feel pained.
Why should I live my life in a state of constant self-hate?
You are the cause of my midnight tears.
I realize now why I became so stagnate,
because you became one of my biggest fears.
Why should I not feel joy?
You never let me truly smile.
I was and never will be your toy.
You didn't start out this vile.
Why should I not leave you?
You never cared before.
You must realize that I'm finally through.
Well now it is too late because I'm already out the door.

This piece was inspired by the loss of my "best friend". In the beginning it started off being about true friends, but it kind of took a weird turn towards the end, so it really could be about anything.
