The words were prepared in my head,
practised over and over in a multitude of variations, until I had the courage
and took a chance to entrust you with my darkness, believing you would listen
with understanding, but you exploded with anger, gritting teeth and accusation,
turning everything I said around to yourself, took my words and fired shot
after shot in my direction… I become silent, cannot look you in the eyes, every
word a physical blow, I murmur an apology not mine to make and escape your
proximity, shutting out your voice, your presence… you told me I could tell you
anything and I believed you, how could I have been so wrong.
This just hurts. How I wish that you didn’t have to write it.
ReplyDeleteObviously that person was too focused on self to listen.
