Michael Hendley Poems

Why why you ask? Why that's a very good question. Why why indeed.
Why do you ask me this now? Why didn't you you ask this earlier? Why didn't you think I needed you then? Why did you ghost me? Why didn't you call? Why didn't you text? Why didn't you bother to do anything, besides just doing nothing?
Why would you abandon me? Why didn't you even contact me just to say you were mad? Why wasn't I worth even an angry comment? Why was I always the one to reach out? Why did I have to be the glue? Why did I have to help you with your problems? Why is it when I have my biggest problem ever, it's time for you to go? Why aren't you here? Why was I there for you when you needed help moving? Why did I help you through the loss of your family member? Why was I there for you when you had your addiction? Why did I help you when you questioned your sexual orientation? Why did I let you dump me as your friend, only to come back and do it again? Why did I offer my shoulder when you couldn't find love? Why did I stand by while you hurt that dog? Why did I give up my sanity and try my best to make you happy? Why I still give you those concert tickets, even after I knew you'd leave me to my despair? Why don't you even care that you hurt me? Why did I always put all of you first? Why don't I have anything to show for it? Why don't you care? Why do I even bother thinking about you?
