Why Haven’t You

Why haven’t you held me close 
Protected me from the worst, the gross 
Why haven’t you? 

Why haven’t you heard my pleas 
My calls for help 
Why haven’t you? 

Why haven’t you seen the worst 
And fell upon the evil that has me cursed 
Why haven’t you? 

Why haven’t you seen, heard, felt or been
The one I need 
Why haven’t you? 

Why haven’t you?
