Why?

Why?

A Poem by Laney
"

i cant sleep

"
Isn't it funny when people ask if you're okay
And you say "I'm just tired"
They say "Okay" and move on
They never ask why

Why?
Because I lie in bed
Body racking with the sobs that have shook my body for months
The sobs that have racked my body since you picked her

Why?
Because my mind is plagued with thoughts of you
And I despise how much you enchant me
But most of all, I despise how she enchants you

Why?
Because I burn at the very mention of you
And you're all I could think of
So I am aflame

Why?
Because the image of you holding her in your arms
Is more haunting than any nightmare
For I'm already awake

Why?
Well, it's simple.
You love her.

you know it`s sad ,but sometimes we choose a person that does not choose us back
and friends mean well but they really don`t understand how you feel
you have to live it to understand it
