Why

Why? You asked me today

Why I left you all alone

As I look down at you I say

 

You forgot the fear in my eyes

You forgot the screaming terrors

 

You pushed me out before I was ready

You pushed me to be ready to soon

 

You forgot the abandoned child I was

You forgot the chances I never had

 

You didn't see the life leave my eyes

You didn't see the scars they left

 

You never saw the pained look in my eyes

You never saw the looks they gave me

 

You never came as I finally cried

You never came as I finally broke

 

That is why I now look down from the sky

That is why I took my life that night
