Why (Oh, Why)
I give you all my love
But you still aren't satisfied
It doesn't seem to matter
That I've really tried
To keep things running smooth
So why, oh why do you want
To hurt me like you do
I wash your clothes and
Fix nice meals for you
I do everything thing
You want me to do
Still you act like I'm ignoring you
So why, oh why do you want
To do me like you do
You can have your freedom
And I'll have mine too
I never wanted anything from you
That wasn't given freely
I gave my heart to you
So why, oh why do you want
To hurt me like you do
But you still aren't satisfied
It doesn't seem to matter
That I've really tried
To keep things running smooth
So why, oh why do you want
To hurt me like you do
I wash your clothes and
Fix nice meals for you
I do everything thing
You want me to do
Still you act like I'm ignoring you
So why, oh why do you want
To do me like you do
You can have your freedom
And I'll have mine too
I never wanted anything from you
That wasn't given freely
I gave my heart to you
So why, oh why do you want
To hurt me like you do

Dear FM,
Oh dear, this sounds very familiar. At what point do you cut and run? Emotional attachment can be debilitating and while you subconsciously know what needs to happen it can still be so difficult. If this is a current situation I sure do wish you the best. It’s a raw write with relatable scenarios. H🌷

Dear H,
Thank you for your wonderful remarks! I appreciate them so much. This poem came about while I remembering the words of my counselor from many years back telling me that she didn't know why my ex-husband wanted to hurt me like he did. It's something I wish I would've said to him but didn't.
Thank you for gracing my page with your presence! It's always great to see you have been by.
