Thoughts I Had Today

Ch. 3: Phoenix and the masked man

This is to the person whom I once loved

Someone who I held dear in my heart
That used to be my world
Used to be my beginning and end

Now they are nothing more
But insignificance

I showed my most vulnerable sides
To this person
But there have been times
Where they didn't show the same comfort
I would show them

When I revealed a new me
To this person
They blatantly lied
And told me
They accepted me

I learned the hard way

Because later on
They showed me otherwise

I thought they respected me
Respected my identity
My preference
And me as a whole

But they lied

When speaking to others
They would introduce me
As someone
I don't relate to anymore

I thought they saw me as I am
But they never listened
And only said
What needed to be said
To have their way with me

They broke my trust

And I will never

Let
Them
Have
Their
Way
With
Me
Again
