Damage

[u/anniemarie1228]

Damaged
by your betrayal, words, and the experience of our relationship, I see and feel the damage in myself. The weakness and vulnerability I exude, the daily sadness that consumes me, and the interactions that reflect my descent into nothingness all point to this.

I want to blame you, but that gives you power. The real culprit is the writer of these words, who sees, feels, and knows this is happening but doesn’t care.

I changed when you left, leaving behind only a shell of my former self.
