Why Do You Hurt Me?

Why Do You Hurt Me?

Why do you hurt me
with actions that you do?
Why do you let me down
and leave me feeling blue?

Why is it that you leave me out
and favour other friends?
Why do you go to them not me
With no care if it offends?

I used to think you were so true;
In you I could depend.
To you, I gave my hope and trust,
but those you chose to rend.

My faith is lost, my hope gone too,
it’s left me dark and hollow.
A hard lesson, once again, to learn.
A hard pill now to swallow.

I used to think that you were there;
a true friend I had found,
but, once again, I was not right.
A hard fall to the ground.

You’d think, by now, I would have learnt
from past times people dropped me,
but here I am, the fool again.
Why is it that you hurt me?
