Emotions should not be played with.
But that's all you did.
You played with my emotions.
You told me lies to make me believe you.
And I did.
Every single one of them.
I was so stupid.

At one point in time I was happy with you.
You made me feel important.
Smart.
Beautiful.
Superior.
Believed in.
I felt like I was on top of the world.

Sometimes I wonder why you told me those things.
I still wonder why sometimes.
I know I'll probably never know why.
But still.
I wish I could know why you do what you did.

I was just a child and you knew that.
You knew how I was.
You make me feel cheap nowadays.
Worthless.
Useless.
Like trash.

Now I just continue to hurt.

I can relate to this which is probably a big reason why I love it. Very well written. And you are not worthless or useless because your writing is very good :) Keep it up! Could you check out my poem - Once a Survivor, Forever a Fighter?
