Manipulator

How fragile we all are
Words break our souls
Until we have nothing to endure
Still we come back, asking for more, " Use, me, want me, because that makes me feel needed."
Who do you think you are, taking my feelings for granted? 
You twist and turn until I become unhinged.
I am only good now, never when I am in need.

I now know people like you, and I avoid you. 
You steal whatever bight light once shone through me. 
You eat people like me for breakfast.

Shame on you and shame on me for trusting you...
I will never be hurt again, my mind has totally opened.
