Poet's note: Just like the previous poem, it also deals with the distress the girl has been put through, but this time with a series of questions that she keeps asking herself. She wants to know why he keeps putting her through misery, through heartbreak, through pain and why she still desperately yearns for his love despite the relentless emotional terror he makes her experience.
It's there for the novel character to express her deepest feelings that she cannot share with those around her, and also because she feels silly for still loving this individual even though he's the reason for her shift of character from a happy person into a distressed one.
This particular poem hurts more, and also means more because it has to do with questions one asks themselves when they are experiencing emotional abuse. At least every single individual can relate to asking themselves series of questions when it comes to them putting themselves into bad situations that they can't get out of, but also at the same time don't want to get out of, especially in a relationship.
