Why?

Why do you ignore my cries of plea?
Simply to please your own narcissistic soul
Or to crush my own miserably?
I have tried time and again
To leave it all behind
To go round a full circle
To turn back time
Do you know not how much I have cried?
The simmering pain in my heart
The slowly bleeding wounds
That painted the tiled floors blood brown
Have now turned into scars.
I write poetry now
To erase my pain,
To provide myself the closure I never got
Was it my fault all along?
Why was I the one
Who had to lose,
To experience pain
For your dirty desires?
I was a pawn
In your game of chess
You stopped at nothing
To break my already broken self
— but now I forget why was I ever drawn to you?
