Nobody really cared except you
but when I really needed it
You turned your back on me
Why did you do it?
Why did you give me false hope?
Why did you turn your back on me?

Why did you fill me with what I feared most?
Why did you drown me in this sea of neglect?
Why did you turn your back on me?

I can't find the reason you were able to
I dont know how easily you could
So why did you turn your back on me?

Shut me out
Throw me back
Ask for a refund
but Dont' forget
You turned your back on me.

This is a very moving poem. I have felt similarly too. When someone you are close to neglects you and turns away from you it is painful. You expressed it really well
