Why did you have to leave?
Did you have a bad day
was it me
that made you go away?

Was it because I bugged you
When you were done sleeping
Or when you got to angry
and began weeping

Or was it because you are bipolar
and didn't know what to do
It wasn't my fault
I just wanted to spend time with you

Why did you leave scars
all over the place
Anyway, I get it now
you just needed your space

I just wanted to say I love you
But, it was to have done what you did
But now I know that it
was so stupid

Even now I still wonder
if you hated me
And if I wasn't perfect
as you wanted me to be

This is so sad! But you did a good job with it. It was simple and innocent, I love the rhyme and flow. Good job!
