How can someone
Who begged for me,
Who begged for my time, my care, my love
Turn away from me like this?
How can someone
Who saw me at my greatest,
When I tend the wounds of all,
Soothe, console, repair
Dry tears and stroke hair
Abandon someone who would never
Abandon them
How can someone
Who witnessed my transformation every time
I had a new story to tell
Eyes alight and face ablaze
Relishing in the laughs, the faces, all watching me
Hurt me,
Make me step away from a spotlight I adored
How can someone
Who saw a devotion in my eyes
No one has ever seen before
Loving caresses and prideful smiles
Where there had only ever been grabbing and lustful grins
Cast me aside, as if you were nothing to me
How could you?
