Why Did You Do The Things You Did?

by David Rances   Jul 2, 2007


Why did you do the things you did?
You gave the impression
Of someone in love.
I believed it
Because you're my everything.
I gave in to those feelings
Those feelings that ran deeply
Deeper than the oceans
Stronger than iron.
These were my emotions for you
I thought you felt the same
But now that time has passed
I guess I was wrong.
I'm not even sure now
Of how you feel anymore.
You were held by back another
And couldn't continue on.
You weren't ready to make a decision
And I waited,
Frozen in time.
Why did you do the things you did
If you can't even make a choice
You gave me false hope
That for once love would give me mercy.
Bit it didn't
And when love is an affliction
There isn't much a person can do.
Such pain that this heart never felt
It came in waves
Hitting me like a protruding rock in the ocean.
Maybe it's something I did
If it is then I'm sorry for doing it,
Whatever it is.
Reading this is probably causing you agony
And I'm sorry for doing it
But there are things that must be told
To ease any suffering.
Despite the things I say about you
And all that I feel,
I must tell you
That I still love you.
I don't know why I do
That is just the truth.
Perhaps someday you'll understand
And we can start over again.
