Stolen time.

Secret meetings.

Hidden messages.

Fury etches lines in my skin.

Tears spill across my face.

I trusted you.

You wrecked me.

Your voice tightens in my chest.

Heat breathes from my throat.

How could you do it?

You meant everything to me.

You shrug. Tell another lie.

The door collapses behind you.

Trust is just a shadow of what once was.

Help me to mend.

Brick by brick the wall closes you out.

Protection from your pain.

I won't let you hurt me ever again.
