spent so long trying to convince myself that what you were doing wasn’t that bad
that maybe i was just overthinking
but deep down i knew something was off
you made me believe people hated me
you fed me lies and called it protection
you made me feel like i had no one — and then smiled like you were helping me
i trusted you
i let you in
and you used that to twist everything and tear me down
it hurts more than i can explain
because i really thought you cared about me
and now i’m left picking up the pieces of friendships you broke and trust you destroyed
i’m done pretending it didn’t hurt
i’m done protecting someone who never protected me
you know what you did
and now i do too
