Congratulations.

You succeeded.

You inched your way

Into my sad, sad life,

And made me believe

That you were there to help me.

You offered light

And some kindness.

I trusted you.

Big mistake.

I swear I can hear

The cracks and the breaks

That my heartbeat makes.

You acted like a friend.

Like a sister, even.

I loved you and

Called you my family.

Then you treat me like

I'm worthless and like

Everything bad in your

Pathetic life is my fault.

I'm sorry I exist.

But I'm not sorry

That you eased your

Way into my life,

Then broke my heart,

Then shattered the

Remains as you left,

Claiming it was all me.

I already hated life

And I already felt lonely,

But then you dragged me

Out into the cold,

Fed off of me

Like a hungry wolf

And left me alone.

I'll bet you're just fine.

I'll bet you didn't

Even think twice.

Is my life that

Meaningless and easy

To walk out of?

That's what I get for

Trusting someone.
