you did

i never thought

that you would

turn me into

such a mess.

a blubbering heap

of sorrow

and depression,

radiating

desperate cries

of 'pity me!'

hoping for

a lifeline,

begging to

be noticed.

i never thought

you would

make me

such a mess.

but you did.

i never thought

that you would

make me into

your puppet,

twisting me around

your little finger,

tighter and tighter

until i could not

breathe for

lack of air.

purple in the face,

i blacked out,

left under your control.

i never thought

you would make me

your puppet.

but you did.

i never thought

that you would

say those things

to me,

the hurtful things

that made me

want to stop

being altogether,

to fall into

the monotony

of the system,

forever forgotten.

i never thought

you would hurt me

so deep down inside.

but you did.

i never thought

that you would

leave me,

hoping that

i fell down

so far,

no one would

ever find

my broken body.

hoping that

i would be

left where i fell,

never for you

to deal with again.

i never thought

you would leave me.

but you did.

i never thought

that you would

hate me,

even an ounce.

after all,

even through

all you did

to me,

i still loved you.

you were still

my best friend,

my shoulder

to cry upon,

my rock

during hard times.

although,

those hard times?

they were your fault.

still, i never thought

you could hate me.

but you did.
