You belittled me
Scrutinized me
Used me
And ridiculed me.
You raped my innocence,
Your lies became my truth.
You shattered my fragility,
Your sugar-coated words satisfied
my hunger for security.
You found glory in my downfall,
You sheltered me with your fa�ade,
You cheapened the true meaning of friendship.
And for that�I thank you�
