Why Didn't You?

You tell me you were hurt deeply,
But chose not to show it.
I can't believe you anymore.

You've lied one too many times.
Made too many excuses,
I can't even tell where the truth ends,
And the lies begin.

You don't talk to me for months,
Then suddenly expect my help.
As if you deserve it,
As if I owe you.

You don't realize the hurt you cause.
Don't see that people mean the things they say.
They don't make it up as they go.
They chose honesty over fantasy.

I can't speak to you,
Because you twist everything I say.
I can't lean on you,
Because you walk away, watching me fall.

You laugh in my face,
When I'm nothing but serious.
You call me a hypocrite,
Without even knowing the facts.

You cut me deeply,
You played with my emotions.
You got me tangled in your web of lies,
And laughed when I couldn't escape.

I trusted you, thought you'd care.
I depended on you.
But when I needed you the most,
You weren't there.

You didn't respect me,
Because the matter "wasn't important to you"
But it was to me.
So why didn't you listen?
