Appaled Poem by Elizabeth Forrest

Why do you punish me with silence
Why do you pain me with these lies
Why do you torture me with childish games
Why do you hide in this disguise

How could you trample on my feelings
How could you ravish my unstable heart
How could you know how much this hurts
How could you play this evil part

Should you play me empty handed
Should you crush these hopes and dreams
Should I let you see me crying
Should I show you what this means

How could I be this foolish
How could I let you treat me so
How could I let myself get so involved
How could I not just let you go

Why do I loose myself so quickly
Why do I embellish in this hate
Why do I pretend you can't affect me
Why do I tell you when it's too late
