You Destroyed My Trust

A woman whom I considered a very very close family friend for 10 years (and whom my family and I have supported financially and non-financially most of the time) has used me (and my family!!) for financial purposes all the time. She showed her true colours with rather acerbic language when I asked her to return some of my money. A week later, her husband shamelessly asked me to help him book a ticket and I told him about her behaviour; then she blocked me on Whatsapp. 3 months on, the impact of this incident continues to adversely affect my psyche; hence I am writing another poem to express my hurt feelings:

You destroyed my trust

To our friendship, did I give my  very best

Helping you all the time

Really, did I think our relationship was sublime

However, for me you did not care at all

To you, money mattered above all!

You destroyed my trust

And shattered my heart

Into a zillion pieces

Took away my inner peace

Reduced me to a mere shadow of myself

How can you live with yourself?

You destroyed my trust

Truly, did I think our friendship was built to last

However, to you was I a mere tool

In fact, you made me a fool

For believing you were genuine

That our relationship was genuine

You have absolutely no idea, how much damage have you done!!

You destroyed my trust

Reduced my self-confidence to its lowest

Trapped me in a web of insecurities

Told me a truckload of white lies

And above all, ensured I would always cling on to you

Really, now totally do I hate you!!

You destroyed my trust

As well as my family’s trust

We were all there for you

Now, we just cannot stand the mere sight of you!!

You destroyed my trust

Your family also played with my trust

All in all, have you been a scheming and conniving vixen

Who pretended to take me to Heaven

And instead left me to rot in Hell

If thoughts could kill

Surely, would you have been dead by now

Seriously, take a bow

For you have made a mockery of friendship

You do not deserve to be a part of any successful relationship!!

You destroyed my trust

Therefore, do you deserve the worst

I just cannot believe you are a mother

Or that your treacherous husband is a father

Whatever, goodbye and good riddance

Never again, will I give you a chance!!
