Stranger Danger

Listen to me.

I know you're asking WHY?

I’m about to tell you.

I've been deaf for a- lot of years. And since were being honest it’s only been during everyone who's loved me's lifetime.

YES.. It’s possible, Because I didn't want to hear the truth. If you loved me, you had to take my faults. And if you left then f!!k you. But don't think for one second, I'm putting up with your aggravation.

My Nana used to say " The older they get the dumber they act" She kept it real about men and women.

I was smart enough to know being alone after you screwed love makes you desperate. Searching and begging, thinking all that pleasing will keep me. And it did. Kept me using you. The same escape that keeps addicts on the move.

Are you hearing me now?

No? You feel me tho. Heart kicking, from your mind flipping, muscles spazzing, remembering when… A stranger got their revenge.

Strange because you loved how the two of you were the ones who would be forever.

But all that lasted were scars and trauma. You were lied to and betrayed, trapped in hurt even after you realized you got what you deserved.

You want to know how they knew how to hurt you. They learned it from you. Friends become strangers forced to teach familiar lessons. All because you refused to listen.
