I made the mistake of trusting you.
I told you things no one knew about me.
You turned your back on me.
You didn’t notice, but I began to fall.
Now, because of you,
everyone knows my deepest secrets.
I hate you so much.
You killed the good left in me.
You are now on your knees,
begging for forgiveness.
I can forgive, but I can’t forget.
I made the mistake of trusting you.
That is a mistake I will never make again.
I thank you,
because you are the one who taught me
that in this world, you can’t count on anyone.
Even your shadow leaves in the darkest of times.
