To Never Know
by
Sherene Delgado
Deceitful
Liar
Manipulator
That is what they told me
But I never listened
I couldn't see what they saw
Not until now
A lessoned learned some may say
I realize now you see what you want to see
I thought you would never hurt me
That you really cared about me
About my feelings
I was wrong
I realize that now
I have a wall around my heart
A wall I built from past hurts
A wall that you snuck though
I tried so hard to protect myself from the hurt
The hurt they thought you would cause me
I see once again that I failed
Now I have to suffer more knowing what I know
A pain that could have been prevented some may say
I should have listened to those who really cared about me
Instead of the person who didn't
I just hope one day you realize that you lost a true friend
True friendship is rare in this world
Even for those who seek it
After everything that has happened I'm not sure who is worst off
Me....
A person who lost someone they cared about
Or you....
A person who will never realize what they lost when you lost me
