Deserted By Love

They left me.
God, they left me.
They just up and abandoned me.
Why?
What did I ever do to them?
I only loved them.
They just couldn’t love me back, I guess.
God, it hurts.
I’m only a child.
Why did they leave me?
Why?
It hurts so much.
My own parents… deserted me.
They gave their own blood away.
Why?
What did I do?
