Why do you feel you have to do this? <br />Why do you feel you can play with me? <br />What did I ever do to you? <br />That could make you treat me so badly? <br />I gave you all I had to give <br />Everything I had I gave on a platter <br />But all you wanted to do is hurt me <br />Treat me as if I don't matter <br />I let you go without strings attached <br />Set you free to roam as you pleased <br />Yet you keep on taunting me when you're given the chance <br />Why wont you just let me be at ease <br />With who I am and my own life <br />Instead of always trying to make me look like a fool <br />By saying you love me and need me <br />I think you just don't like that I'm happy without you <br />You've realized you can't keep me down <br />Your narrowmind won't keep me on balls chains <br />You see now that I can go on <br />My head not my heart reigns <br />I can put you aside <br />Just act as if you never were <br />But that's what gets to you the most <br />Is that I don't care if you're with her <br />I'm just glad you're no longer in my life <br />I'm glad I let you go on your merry way <br />But I see that you want to torment me <br />Day after day <br />I said it before and I'll say it again! <br />I don't want you, I'm over you <br />You played with fire, and you're been burned <br />My mama didn't raise no fool <br />So take your lies <br />Your confessions of love that will never die <br />And give it her <br />Maybe one day, if she's lucky, she'll find its all a lie!<br /><br />Elizabeth U.
