Why?

Why?

Why do people hurt me?
What did I do wrong?
I try so hard to understand,
but I am not that strong.

I put my trust in people
who show me that they care,
but when I really need someone
for me they're never there.

Each time I think I've found someone
who loves me just for me
they decide the time's not right
and just friends we should be.

Well I do not deserve this fate.
I can't take it anymore.
My heart is longing, my tears are dry,
and my soul is more than sore.

So why does this continue?
Please tell me what went wrong?
When did fortune write the fate
to string my heart along?

The light was peaking through the clouds,
but now by my own will,
I must do what I feel right.
My innocence I'll kill.

--Daryl Molen
