Why Would You Do That?

Why would you do that
Say you care
Then turn your back
Give me your friendship
Take a piece of my heart
Then pull away
Ignore me
Take away your support
Why would you do that


I placed my heart in your hands
Trusted you
Listened to you
I Work to be a better person
For knowing you
Seeing the person I thought
You were
Seeing the person I thought you saw in me
Making positive changes
Using your support

Support withdrawn
Floating
Uncertain

Why would you do that
Give your friendship
Take my trust
Make promises
Break it all
The promise
My trust
My heart

Why would you do that
Is it me
Is befriending me such a burden
Why would take the time
to teach me
then walk away
as I begin to learn

why would you do that
give your friendship
then turn your back
what am I
a toy
a project you tossed aside
my heart is not a toy
an experiment?
in sociolology perhaps?

I gave you my trust
Listened to your lessons
Came to care about you
Then you were gone
Here I am missing you
Doing this dance
Attempting to be someone
You could be proud of
But do you care

Why would you do that
Give your friendship
then turn your back

My life is forever changed for having known you
And forever empty in the spot you left behind
Empty space

A friend is all I seek
Where did you go
Why would you do that

I needed you
But being needed scared you away
Why?
