Why did you do it?

Sam conway 1991 (New Zealand)



Why did you do it?
I'll never know
You don't admit it,
And that hurts the most.

You took every peice of me including my soul.
I feel so empty, with no where to go.
This pain i feel didn't happen over night.
It slowly crepped up on me over time.

I tried to bottle it all away
But one day it exploded in my face.
The flash backs started.
The depression kicked in.
The emptiness I feel it makes me want to scream.

I want to go back to who I was before
I lost myself.

You get to walk away but I never did
Now I'm forever haunted
Because of the one night
That changed my life forever .
