WHY??

Why did you do those things to me?
Why couldn't you just leave me be?
What did I ever do to you?
Didn't you have better things to do?
Why can't I just forget it all?
Forget the way you made me bawl.
Why can't I forget all things you did?
Why did you do it? I was just a kid.
Why did I believe all your lies?
Why did you never respond to my cries?
I would sit in my room late at night,
Making sure I was out of sight.
I would cry till I could cry no more.
Hoping in the morning I would not be sore.
Why did you beat me till I could no longer stand?
And never offer me a helping hand?
Why did you watch, and tell me I was bad?
I went to bed feeling isolated and very sad.
Was this all part of your scheme?
Were you trying to make me have bad dreams?
I sit in bed at night and cry,
My only question to you is WHY??
