Because Of You


Why did you leave me?

Where did you go? Why?

I thought you cared

Until the day you didn't come home

Because of you

I am scared

Because of you 

I am not who I was

Because of you

I've changed so much

From being able to love

To turning so cold

Because of you

I don't bother

Because of you 

I just assume everyone would leave

Just like the way you left me

Because of you

I have skin of stone

Because of you

I am shattered at the core

Because of you

I am broking, just hoping, hoping

You would just come back through that door

But, you didn't come back

You left me all alone

You left me in fear thinking something bad had went wrong!

Because of you

I'm completely broking, torn, shattered, and all alone

It's all because YOU left ME!

Because you walked out that door

You didn't come back though

You left without a word

You left with no contact

I was so scared and alone

I even thought you died!

You left for a week

A week without a word

A week with no assurance

A week of worry

You didn't even care to pick up the phone

You didn't bother to call me

You meant EVERYTHING!

But without hearing your words

You turned yourself to NOTHING!

All because YOU left

Because you didn't come back

When I was little 

All I thought was 

"When will daddy come home?"
