Innocence is lost

By letitbe

 How does one become everything they hate?

Generally I am happy but I'm void of any emotion that might lead me to potential relationships

The very thought revolts me.

I guess because of you.

I didn't realize I was this screwed up because of you, a mere being.

How could I allow you to mess up my wires up this bad

and more importantly, how can I fix the ones that are fried?

I put my trust in you as a person

and I;m the only one who stuck by your side

your own friends gave up on you while your family proclaimed their hatred.

We are not meant to be, I do not want an "us"

but how can you hurt the one person who was there for you?

You are the most self destructive person I know

and now that I'm back, your trying again.

I'm sorry but, no.

My heart, my life, is closed off to you.

I have no desire for you

your presence sickens me and the qualities I once saw

now make me laugh.

You are a child and I am much too old for you.

I associate every guy as having your mindset

I was always an optimist and now I find myself SEARCHING for the negative.

I doubt anyone will prove me wrong.

In this life you only have yourself

and a good friend to get you by.

No more.

You can't trust yourself with anyone else.

Once you do, you'll be disappointed.

I'm a shell of the person I once was.

I can fake my happiness to everyone and anyone

Nobody can see through this mask but me.

I'm sick of pretending.

I want the me before you broke her.

Who cares if she was slightly more naive

She was more innocent to pain

and that could in some instances, leave her more vulnerable

but I'd rather be her than the one who lost my trust in people, words, humanity.

    People are complicated. Relationships harder. Sometimes two people connect but things go wrong, it's like this many many times. Maybe because they are incompatible. Maybe because they think love is easy. Love isn't easy. Sometimes we became someone's satellite, going around on it's orbit for so long, that sometimes we are pulled by gravity and end up crashing down. And of course that leaves scars. But we can't judge all people like that one bad relationship that we had. It's easy to be tangled on depression and darkness. We have to think outside the box.
