Another poem of the many I write to help me with my pain...

" You taught me that trust will only bring pain..
You prey on my weakness and feed on my shame,
Bring me into the darkness when I look for the light..
Judged me so harshly, I could never be right.

Once I reached out thinking you were my friend and my lover..
You played your games and now I am running for cover,
Your eyes look through me with undisguised hate..
I found out the hard way, I saw it to late.

I let my walls down and you trampled my heart..
I know you enjoyed that your tore me apart,
I confided in you...bearing my soul..
You broke my trust, all you wanted was control.

I never refused you, would of gave you my last dime..
Now I see it was just a matter of time,
When you grew restless, searching for more..
No longer your angel, you reduced me to whore.

I was never good enough, you were quick to remind me..
of what I never was in your eyes and never would be,
Your once sweet words are now bitter and cold..
and I have found out all that glitters is not gold.

I wish I had kept my secrets way deep down inside..
I was a fool to think that in you I could confide,
I will rebuild my walls and reclaim my dignity..
I will be all that much stronger and no one will get to me.

You taught me a lesson I will take to my grave..
You stand alone in this world so you have to be brave,
Don't get caught up in sweet passion for it burns out to fast..
look for true friendship and a love that will last.

    I like this poem a lot. I'm fond of the poems with stories in them. And I love the emotional arc that you take the reader on.

    Keep writing!

    Thanks to the both of you. Any kind words lately almost move me to tears, I have been feeling so inept and insecure. I appreciate it and hope you both have a lovely Weekend.
