Cynical

by Christel Crews

You left me
Cynical
Walled - fortified
No emotion in
Nothing let out

You left me
Trapped
Wounded - alone
No where to run
No one to turn to

You left me
Defeated
Broken - shattered
Afraid of myself
Terrified of everyone else

You left me
Time
Pondering - trying
To break the chains
Expose the pain

And attempt to stand again

Author's Note: Its been years now, and I'm just realizing how my past has tainted my view on relationships... I'm trying to break this thought pattern

This cuts right to the bone. The words you've chosen to convey your feelings are dead-on. Very well done.

I've been ther often, I related deeply.

Christel, you can't imagine how much these words mean to me, with my history of lousy luck with guys. You said it so much better than I could and I feel the strength in these words, even though the pain is present.
