How could you hurt me so?
You planned and plotted;
You intentionally wanted to deceive me.
Leading me on;
Convincing me to trust you.
It was all part of your scheme.
Others
They had warned me.
Oh, how stupid I feel now!
They look at me in condescension,
Walking by, shaking their head.
I did not heed their warnings.
I did not believe their words.
Now anger is all I feel.
Pain is in my heart.
My mind is numb.
My soul is forever closed off.
I feel myself receding
Into a type of protective shell,
A shell that defends me against words,
Against feelings and actions.
It saves me from shame,
Shields me from pain,
Wraps me like a blanket and keeps me safe.
You!
You're the one who has turned me into a zombie,
A monster that drones on and on
With no emotional attachments.
I am secluded from the world
Choosing to remain in my safe haven;
Not trusting anyone,
Not believing in the world,
Not caring.
This is what you have done.
