Why (For Lack of a Better Title at the Moment)

A Poem

Etienne J. Sarfelli
Why do you have to play with my heart?

Does it make you feel good to know

That I sit around and wait for you?

This was your idea, not mine

I never thought we'd be together again

I thought I already lost you long ago

But then you come back around

And tell me that you want me

And make me think those things

I haven't thought for so long

So why do you have to toy with my emotions?

Couldn't you have just stayed away?

Why did you have to lead me on?

Does it make you happy to see me so sad?

Well, I promise you this

You won't ever know

How hard it is for me to have to let you go

You won't ever see the tears I cry

And you won't ever know the longing

That I feel for you

But I won't place the blame on you

You don't deserve that kind of credit

It is my fault for thinking

You were worthy of my time.
