2013

You hurt me,
That's the easiest way to put it.
You destroyed every bit
Of confidence and happiness I had.
You made my life a mess
All for your own selfish needs.

Was it not enough that I already felt
Worthless and insignificant because of you?
Of course not.

It's because of you that I can
No longer trust another.
Because of you my fear
Of making mistakes
Has only intensified.
Because of you I have barred myself
From the world.

And it's funny, I think,
When you ask me if you'll be in my future.
How ignorant could you possibly be
To think I'd ever put myself
In that position again?

I've grown,
I've changed,
I'm everything you hate.

So when I smile and reply,
"I don't know what the future holds."
Just know in the empty pit
You call your heart
That I'm lying.
It's only fair after all,
To feed you lies the same way
You shoved hatred down my throat.
