We were nothing more than the best of friends
yet, somehow, you seemed to betray my trust
you lied and sneaked your way around
to get what you wanted
This Girl
You tried to use my friendship
although you didn't succeed.
You lied to me after I promised to never hurt you.
After I promised to be a sister to you.
You lied by not telling me what was happening.
About your life.
This Girl
We knew of her trickery.
You knew.
YOU KNEW!
yet you let the pride between your legs cloud
your thoughts, your mind,
your beautiful eyes.
HOW COULD YOU!!
I cried! I couldnt breathe!
My body went limp from holding back tears that had yet to be shed!
But did you care?
NO!
I told you how I felt when i found out.
You said "Of course your opinion matters."
But did it?
NEVER!
again you lied to me!
WHY WOULD YOU!
How dare you underestimate my intelligence!
You thought I wouldn't find out simply because you wished it that way!
YOU WERE WRONG!
I stumbled upon this because you thought i didn't deserve to know.
You thought I shouldn't know.
DONT!
I love you too much to see you hurt!
But that's all she did!
This damn girl!
DAMMIT!
She had "WHORE" printed on her overly large forehead!
But when I cried you didnt CARE!
CARE!
YOU WISHED IT WAS HER THERE! NOT ME!
NEVER ME!
ALWAYS HER!
THIS GODDAMNED GIRL OF YOURS!
and now, NOW, you confess how it happened, why it happened.
How could it happen?
Now I'm sick to my stomach.
It hurts to eat.
The past is just that...the past.
But it's there.
In here.
My mind.
My heart.
But.....
Dont regret.
Regrets are a waste of time.
They are only the past crippling you in the present.
It's ok.
Nothing wrong anymore.
It's all ok.
This Girl
She's not a problem
Why?
Cuz I won't let her be.
I won't let her hurt you anymore.
Your mine, mine to hold, mine to protect.
I love you.
You love me.
That's all that matters.
Your girl.
My guy.
They hurt us.
They're gone.
We're together.
All that matters
Is this moment.
Silly girl, this girl.

just a little personal experience......after writing this piece i realized...writing feels good when your sad or mad. it really does help. this has something to do with my boyfriends past and, unfortunately, i was pulled into it because he considered me to be his little sister. anyway....enjoy....

I feel alot of emotions coursing through this write, anger, sadness, hurt, pain, confussion. I think you allowed us to feel a piece of what you felt and I don't think this looks for sympathy for what you endured, I believe you want the strength to be recognized for having survived it. Excellent penning from your heart and your reslilience from a difficult situation shines through. My pleasure to read
