You Weren't There


She told you
she told you times before there was even 
me in the picture.
She tried
she asked you to listen
and you said you did
you repeated every word
yet nothing seemed to change.
And now you wonder why,
why it's me and not you.
Why she won't give up
and let you walk all over her.
You expect her to stay
and not know what it is 
you're doing.
She's stronger than that.
She will lay down 
to shake you off when you take that first step
and you think by now,
by now you'd maybe know that.
