Why? By: Kendra Sims Poem by Kendra Sims

Why did you lie to me?

You told me you were never going to leave me

And that you love me

Why did I tell myself that I could trust you?

Somehow, in my head and my heart

I thought that you were different

That this time I wouldn't end up alone and heartbroken

I trusted you

I let you in

I showed you who I am inside

I told you how I felt

Yet, in the end, all I got was a broken heart

Neverending tears streaming down my face

Thoughts in my head telling me "I'll never be good enough"

I can't help but believe that the thoughts are right

That maybe I was never good enough for you

Which is why you left

I'm sorry for not being good enough for you
