That day felt like a nightmare,
I thought I was dreaming.
Yet everything felt so real.
I wanted myself to believe
I was dreaming, that it was all
A nightmare.
I wanted to believe that you
Wouldn't really hurt me,
But I believed wrong.
I wasn't dreaming, it was
All very real.
You really did hurt me.
It was a nightmare
That will haunt me for life.
Everything was going well,
But you betrayed me.
Every-time you layed your hand
On my leg,
I felt my heart break.
It felt as if you had just stabbed me.
It was so uncomfortable,
Knowing that you would hurt me
Like you did.
Now your face will haunt my
Past forever.
Everything seems to remind me
Of that horrible nightmare.
When I think that it's over,
That I don't have to worry.
Images of you and that day
Appear.
The scares are deep,
Not easy to heal.
That nightmare is forever
Engraved in my memory.
Sometimes I think that it was
My fault.
That I provoked the nightmare.
But, I have people telling me
I'm not the one to blame,
That you are the sick one and
I did nothing wrong.
Now as I wait for this
Nightmare to be over,
I am beginning to believe
That everyone is right.
And I don't blame myself.
I am starting to heal,
Slowly but surely.
I can finally love,
And trust again.
But you will never be able
To gain my respect.
That may seem harsh,
But it's only fare.
You made me experience
A nightmare that I didn't
Expect to go through again.
Once this nightmare is over
I will be able to live
A happy life.
I wont have to worry about
You haunting me anymore.

i liked it and can relate it hurts when those we trust betray us so badly...but I found the structure to be dificult to read and it to be a bit choppy but keep writting and I'll keep reading!
