what you do to me.

by kelli bircket (Aries) - Not entered

how could you do this to me?
i am not an object full of fun and games.
i am me.
i have feelings.
deep feelings for you.
   when you left me,
i learned not to cry when i heard your name
or when i saw you.
i learned to live and love again.
but my thoughts always went back to you.
i didn't want them to.
you hurt me, 
but i still loved you.
i didn't want to,
but i did.
   secretly, i kept the feelings inside,
hoping that it would make them go away,
but they didn't.
   i thought that we would love again-
someday.
i knew that i wanted to be with you again.
i thought that you wanted to be with me, too.
you said you did.
why did you lie?
   i tried to put you aside, 
but you were always there-
right by me.
you were always in my thoughts
when you weren't with me.
   i used to think that you still cared for me.
i was blinded by your words.
but you didn't care,
again you hurt me.
again you lied.
   deeper than before,
you shattered my dream of-
someday.
   now you go laughing down the hall,
making fools of others who fall
in your path,
while i try 
to build
my life
again.
