Why

Why do I feel empty
whenever you're not with me?

Why do I don't know
what to do
when you're not texting?

Why can't I
motivate myself a little
when I constantly think
about you?

Why do I always feel
like you would never
ever
love me the way I love you?

Why do I always
remind myself
that you don't like me
though
I don't know
if you do?

Why do I tell myself
every second
that we will never be
together
that a "we"
will never exist?

Why do I constantly
make myself think
that you like
someone else?

Because.
Because I simply try
to protect myself
Because you
you are the person
I gave the power
to destroy my life
with only one
sentence.
