Why Is It? Poem by Sara Panicali

I'm lost when I'm with you
Can't stand what you put me through
We fight and argue
Just like an old married couple
I think of just leaving
You and everything else behind

Why is it,
That when we're apart
I can't stand to be
Without your touch
To hear your voice
It drives me mad

Why is it,
That I still love you
the way I do
After you treat me
Like I'm nothing
Or even better
Like I'm just an option
Like on lay away
Where you can come pick me up
When you have nothing better to do
Why is it
