Dear John

Folder: 
Dedications

Three years you have hurt me

and the whole time

I thought it was in my head.

 

I thought I was 

being overly sensitive,

but you crossed the line today.

 

You proved to me that 

everything I believed

was the painful truth.

 

And everything I have felt

in all this time,

came flooding back.

 

What hurts the most is

knowing that you led me 

down this path. 

 

You were the cause

of my self-destruction,

and you didn't even care.

 

Like an arsonist with a match,

you set me ablaze

then turned and walked away.

 

I guess I'm a joke to you;

perhaps I don't matter

and maybe I never did.
