You held me captive
Inside my head
You fed me lies
So I would not see the truth
But you couldn't hide it forever
I could see it in your eyes
And then once you knew
You left me for dead
But the fact that you turned on me
Isn't what makes me dead inside
It isn't that you stopped caring
But that you never cared in the first place
You pretended to care about me
You only pretended to listen
But if you have never cared
Then why would you fake it?
Was it because you thought you might?
Or maybe you wanted something from me
Whatever the reason
You destroyed me
You slowly gained my trust
Then you turned your back
And when I needed you the most
I never saw you again
Why did you pretend?
Why didn't you just hate me like all the others?
What was it you wanted from me?
Was it really something that important?
Was it important enough to steal from me
Every bit of hope I had left
Was it important enough to ruin me?
By pulling me into your trap
Or maybe that's what you wanted
To take away my hope
To leave me in the dark
To turn my dreams into nightmares
But why did you want to ruin me?
What did I ever do to you?
Is it because I am different?
Because I'm not pathetic like you
Yes, you indeed ruined me
But I don't have to stay that way forever
I will get better, stronger than ever
And I will hunt you down
I will destroy you
Just like you tried to destroy me
This poem has a lot of raw emotion in it. It's gutsy and definitely not candy coated. A strong voice comes through your poetry and I feel almost overtaken by the uncensored emotion. I like that you made the last stanza only two sentences, it adds emphasis. I think you use some loaded word and I think you could use even more to express yourself more deeply. I think the vulnerability of this poem is beautiful. And the anger is frightening.
Thanks, and yes, there is raw emotion in a lot of my poems-_- I get angry a lot. I have EXTREME anger and depression issues, so this is how I express myself and kinda get rid of some of the stress...
Your writing is still amazing though I love all of it because I get these emotions all the time too.
I liked it.I can relate to it in a way. I also like the way you write.,,awesome.
