I, I

I asked you if you would let me lay in pain,
if you would let me be,

but you would not do this favor unto me

I asked you if you would close the door behind you,
if you would leave me in silence,

but you would not do this favor unto me

I asked you if you would buy me this pill,
the one they told me would extricate any and all evidence of you,

but you,
you would not do this favor unto me

I begged of you to teach me how to be cold,
how to be a light switch when I needed to be,

but you would not do this favor unto me

I pleaded with you to never touch my face,
and close your eyes the way you used to when we were, in fact, face to face

but you would not do this favor unto me

I implored you to not be selfish,
just this once and only once,

but you would not do this,
you would not do this for me
