It wasn't you


It wasn't you who made me who I am.

It wasn't you who ever tried to understand.

YOU made the world orbit around your sun.

When I needed YOU, you were nowhere to be found.

Cast away in a dark room I yelled out for YOUR name.

Instead of being helped YOU cast me away.

HE took my place in your heart.

When I bleed YOU nurtured him from the start.

I believed in YOU, I thought YOU would always love ME.

BUT you threw me away when HE came to be.

When YOU whispered the words I Do.

I cried the words I Don't.

When HE took you away I was replaced.

Left for dead without a taste.

I creid out for YOU and got no answer in return.

IM the selfish one but I was left ALONE.
