At one time, I thought you loved me,
at one time, I thought you would be there,
at one time, I thought we would wed.
At this time, I know you much better,
at this time, I know how you work,
at this time, I cringe for whom you bed.
At one time, you smacked me on the arm,
at one time, you smacked me across the face,
at one time, you punched me in the eye.
At this time, you sleep with my best friend,
at this time, you cuddle her like a teddy,
at this time, you haven't made her cry.
At one time, you told me I was wrong,
at one time, you told me to go ahead and die,
at one time, you handed me the razor.
At this time, you kiss and hold her tightly,
at this time, you tell her that you love her,
at this time, you seem to amaze her.
At one time, I thought you loved me,
at one time, I thought you would be there,
at one time, I thought we would wed.
At this time, she knows how you treated me,
at this time, she has made a vow of celebacy,
at this time, she doesn't wish to be yours as you said.
At one time, I told her everything,
at one time, I showed her the scars,
at one time, she chose what was best.
At this time, I know telling her was right,
at this time, I am not afraid of losing her to you anymore,
at this time, I am finally content.
At one time, I was finally at rest,
at one time, she was finally informed,
at one time, you were finally brought down.
At one time, you got what you deserved.
----------------------------------------
The hardest thing I EVER did, was tell my best friend that the man she was sleeping with, was the one who hurt me so bad in the past. I was so scared of loseing her to him, but teling her was the right thing because I didn't want her to end up like me. Scars are hard to hide you know.
