Why Were You The One?

If my tears were really so precious to you

Why were you the one to make them fall?

If my happiness was really so important

Why were you the one to take it all?

 

If every little thing I ever said meant so much

Why were you the one to not understand?

When I needed help to rise again

Where was your helping hand?

 

If you found everything about me beautiful

Why were you the one who gave me scars?

If you meant it when you said you’ll never hurt me

Why were you the one to burn me like the stars?

 

If my eyes were really so breath-taking,

Why were you the one who made them want to close?

If you really meant it when you said you’ll protect me,

Why were you the one responsible for my bleeding nose?

 

Is that what I always was?

A little toy for the fun of keeping

Did you like it when you hurt me,

Did you feel victorious when you saw me weeping?

 

I can’t believe that you really did this to me

Baby, I thought you called me your doll

If my tears were really so precious to you

Why were you the one to make them fall?

-this is such a beautiful poem, so raw and intense and full of emotion. it is really sad though that the one person who can make you so happy is the exact same person who has the power to make you sad. i really enjoyed reading this one and i love the fact that you put it in a way whereby you question all the good intentions the person had and how they were int turn reflected by a bad action instead, very well written.

touching. Love knows no King or noblemen,anyone can fall in his trap.Put your armor on and prepare for a barbarous battle whenever you smell love in the air.

A sad poem. I like the directness and honest feel in the words. Hard to understand why the people we love want to hurt us. Thank you for the excellent poetry.
