At Fault

You said you hated me. 
I can take that for face value.
You said you loved me.
I can't take that coming from you.

I shared my fears.
You used them against me.
I expressed my weakness'.
You plucked at them gently.

You managed to get in my thoughts,
I allowed it.
You hollowed out my heart,
I involved it.
