Manipulative Friendship

You see me, I know Caked with deepen shade Everyone teased, but you hurt the worst When you ignored and walked away Now limping with a heartache Disadvantaged with a broken soul Those physical abuse wasn't their game Teasing and taunts satisfied their toll Thought you would stand up And defend the scars under my skin But instead joining in on the torment Egging on bruises within Trust was belittled By the one that meant most Dissolving friendship with a knife in back Those things happen I suppose The crude words spread Like a diesese so untrue But the worst ones that cut me Were the lies sprawled out by you I forgive you for punches You seemed to throw when you spoke And every kick your heels dug in Solid as your choice words choke Still have marks that had tried to heal But decided to remain as scars And inside my soul you'll see how Still floating around are your remarks Never crossed my mind That we'd be like this today The insults you breath in are dangerous Bullying to fit in another day

Yes, the hurt always seems to leave scars but somehow we manage to get up and move on. Quite a sad poem about relationships.
