Just tell me


I saw you in my room.
I was there, do you remember?
Lying accusingly on the stiff bed,
Standing hidden behind the hard door,
Staring unemotionally through the pale window.
You never knew, you never cared.

You come up my road,
You follow my so carefully weathered path.
You enter my house,
You don't even knock.
You steal from my richness,
You take what is not yours to take,
You don't even notice me watching you.

I was there, I saw you do it.
You never gave me the reason.
I handed everything over directly.
You never even looked at my giving hand.
I offered all I owned, even myself.
You took it all, all but me.

Why did you do it?
Did you not see the face in the window?
Did you not see the person who opened the door?
Did you steal my world right out from under me?
I do not understand this.
You take all, even my love,
Yet you never give any back.
I say your name- All I ask is why?
