How Could You?

by Unseen Exposure   Jan 25, 2005



How could you turn your back on me when I screamed your name so loud?
How could you let me fall away from you, did you get too proud?
How could you watch as I died a gruesome death and broke apart?
How could you walk away from me, or were you never really there to start?

How could you be so cruel to me when all I ever tried to do was fit in?
How could you be so hypocritical when I spoke my secrets from deep within?
How could you have said those things and pretended that they were true?
How could you have meant them all-I don't understand what you're trying to do.

How could you pull the floor from beneath me when I just learned to stand?
Please, could you just explain this to me, Because I don't understand..
How could you play this game of pretend and play the part of a friend?
How could you be so thoughtless, how could you want this all to end?

How could you look me in the eye and say the cruelest of words?
How could you say you listened to me when you never really heard?
How could you stick this knife in my chest, then twist it where you wanted it to go?
Please answer me all these questions, I really need to know

How could you have done things things and live with no regret?
How could you not remember what you said, how could you forget?
How could you say you'd do it, and then never really follow through
But really, I just have one question to ask ... I just want to know, How could you??

    Lovely. A worthy piece of beautiful poetry expressing betrayl and abandonment from a friend.
    I really liked the lines,
    "How could you have done things things and live with no regret?
    How could you not remember what you said, how could you forget?"
    I can most definetly relate.
    I really like how you protrayed the pain through symbols like, "How could you stick this knife in my chest, then twist it where you wanted it to go?"
    i really liked the symbol of a knife into the chest, it holds so much emotion and meaning.
    Beautiful, well done
