Why?


Why oh why was it me to go through the pain instead of her, 
The one who said we’ll always be together like twigs on a stick
But no, instead she lied, they lied, everyone lied.
Why didn’t I listen when that one person told me to watch myself
Why cant I just have listened instead of being her friend? 
But now those choices I’ve made came back to blow me in the face
And it’s all my fault for not listening.
        Even to myself…..
