It wasn't it,
Billie dee ryder 1979 (Kamloops BC)
I actually thought I found that person. The one that makes your heart race just at the very thought of them,
the person that makes you smile even on the worst day ever,
the one who gives you that reason to wake up when you don't want to,
and who leaves you missing him before he's even gone.
He played a good game.
I gave benefit of the doubt when I should have been more suspicious,
I believed words that were clearly lies, and trusted that he cared as much as he said he did.
Instead of carefully pulling each brick away from my wall and replacing it with trust and security
He took a sledge hammer and left me damaged with an unfixable vulneritablility.
He took my happiness and gave back tears and sadness.
He left me standing alone feeling stupid and made sure everyone saw me and thought of me as a fool.
For all of this I just wanna say thank you for it will only make me stronger.
