Poem: "Why"

Author's note: I had an argument with my significant other today, which happened to be my inspiration for this short verse. I often wonder why a simple disagreement brings out the worst in people. Copyright Silverwynde, 2005.

Why
do you say
the things that hurt me
the most?
Does it make you
laugh inside
to see me cry?
Do you feel
happy
when you see
my tears?
Is it sheer spite?
Or something more?
Why
do you celebrate
every time
I die a little
inside?
