Why, Oh Why?

Why, oh why

Do you do these things to me?

I understand I am hurt

But why do I feel as if I should die?

Why, oh why

Have I fallen into such a state?

Where I am ready to reach the end

Are you happy now?

Why, oh why

Are you torturing me like this?

And you know you're killing me

Should I just disappear?

Why, oh why

Did this all have to end like this?

I reached out for your help

But you just ignored my cries

Why, oh why

Do you cry at my funeral?

When you could've saved me

Remember, I asked for your help

Why, oh why

Are you sad now? 

I have released a burden from you

You no longer have to act like you like me

Why, oh why

Do I feel as if I am already dead?

I'm no longer happy

I just need to end things now

Why, oh why, 

Did you push me into this depression?

Did you ignore my pleas for help?

Did you push  me into my grave?

I love the progression that the poem gives. The repetition helps move the story along from sadness to anger to depression and then to giving up completely.
