The One I Trusted Most

Dear the one I trusted most,

I know you’ll never see this

And I’m quite okay with that

Yet I can’t help, but hope you will one day.

 

I put all my trust in you.

From the summer of 2012,

To well-

I don’t know until when.

We gradually lost trust,

And then one day we hated one another.

 

You see I never wanted this to happen.

I never planned on it.

And I never imagined it.

But I learned you had a different agenda in mind.

 

It felt as if

You were trying to ruin me,

Manipulate me.

In fact you were,

But you failed.

If anything you freed me.

 

My mind opened up.

And I realized everything

You said and did to me

Was not something normal.

Not someone who cared would do

Only someone who had no respect for another being

Could do the things that you did.

And after years of being stuck to you

By the hip

In a toxic web

I cut the strand that connected us,

Giving me the freedom

I never realized I needed.

Sincerely, the one with newly gained independence
