Echoes in the Margins

Pain

The pain you left me in will never be forgotten.

The pain you left me in will never go away.

It haunts me every night to know that you're still able to do what you did to me.

It's been a year and I am still scared and in pain.

The love we had will never top the pain you inflicted upon me.

I lay awake every night wondering what I did to deserve the pain you laid upon me.

I wonder every day and night that if it was my fault.

I loved you but it's apparent that you didn't love me as much as I loved you.

As it becomes one year away from you and the pain that followed, it gets harder to cope.

The pain you caused that day has followed me like a shadow that never goes away.

You left me in a state of lost and hurt, causing me to trust no one.

The pain made me hate myself and my body more and more.

I had endless nights of staying awake.

I lost so much weight and rarely ate.

I avoided everyone at school and felt alone.

I could no longer do the things I loved without being reminded.

It's been almost a year since you left me in pain.

A year of hating myself and my body.

A year of feeling alone and lost.

A year of constant pain and constant reminders.

I left town and yet, I somehow still manage to run into you just to be reminded once again.

I lay awake at night and breakdown because I can't move on without being in pain.

You hurt an innocent person that could never hurt anyone.

Now, that person hates themselves more than ever and wishes that they weren't around people everyday.

Although they may still care about you and wish you well,

They wish that they never have to run into you or anyone like you.

They wish you a bright future but wish that they have no part in it.

They wish you got what you deserved for it but wish that you stay safe and learn your own lesson.
