You Made Me This Way

Maybe if I had

Just stayed home that day.

Maybe if I never met you,

I’d still be okay.

I can’t shake the memories,

You lead me astray.

How’s your conscience?

Are you feeling guilty today?

I am. All the time.

I feel it in every way.

I wish you felt like I do.

Instead you pushed me away.

I want you to feel this pain.

These words I can’t convey.

Do you ever think of me?

Or was I just a stray?

Did I mean anything to you?

Or is it, your heart’s just too grey.

I’d say by now it’s blackened.

I wish you would hurt this way.

I’d like to see you cry as I have many times,

I can’t look at myself today.

“The truth shall set you free,”

But you’ll never say.

Why do you only care about yourself?

I can’t live life this way.

You’ve ruined everything,

But in your eyes, it’s all okay.

So many times people are mistreated and left with so many questions. They wonder if people realize the hurt they have inflicted and the sad thing is the one who inflicted probably doesn't even think of them again. I believe you get what you give eventually. Beautiful piece.......

I'll favorite this because as Neva says, it portrays people accurately, how we so easily give to one another bad thoughts but so easily leave out the good ones, and just assume we're all as a whole party fine.

Love this!

Many young people even older people feel no loyalty to others. The loyalty you share will one day be appreciated.
