Two Sides

Oh man..

Where do I start

I don't know but..

I guess there are just so many things, so many things that are bothering me, so many things that I could cry over in this life.

I used to count on you, not intentionally but you were always there for me when I never even ask, the pride just wouldn't let me call out for you for help but you were there anyways..

I used to rely on you to not be one of the things that used to bother me in my life that YOU, only you knew about.

You always brought me back up

Whenever I was down

And you knew that out of all people

And you used it

Used it to break me and threw me right back down even harder this time from where you picked from where you began.

You did it even harder than anyone that I have ever known..

You just waited.. and waited..

Till you saw the opportunity

And you TOOK IT!

You broke me..

You really broke me...

You knew that i wouldn't see it coming

And you knew where to hit where it hurts and then took advantage

And struck me down when I wasn't looking..

And now I'm all alone..

And now nobody's around

To bring me back up again

Like how you did..

There are two sides of every story

And then there are screen shots.

This piece is filled with the pain of disillusionment...of betrayal. It is often said that when we love someone...trust them...we hand them a knife and show them where to cut, to inflict the most damage. That makes their betrayal so much more painful! It helps to put the pain into words...to free it...but time is the only real answer. We absorb the pain, lick our wounds, grow stronger...but also begin building a wall for protection. My suggestion with this piece is to reread it...you have some word errors that are an easy fix...example: right back down even harder this time from where you picked from where you began.

I'd also go back and clean up the flow with some punctuation...which will help the reader grasp your words more readily.

A great piece...rich with potential. Nicely done.

Thank you for your great review and understanding what was within these words, and thank you for showing and helping me with the errors.

Thanks again.

I think nearly everybody can resonate with this. Its all about 'trust' and 'manipulation'
It's funny how peoples minds work. You think you know them and then they stab you in the back, even when they are literally looking you in the face.
Yes it hurts but we grow stronger and become wiser to it.
A lie is a lie....yes
But the people which cause the hurt are only lying to themselves. The person on the receiving end, even though they maybe hurting; shpild be able to hold their head up high. And eventually will realise, that the other person wasnt worthy of that pedestal.
Not a review.....more of a comment.

It is, its really funny how it works, their minds work in mysterious ways, He's your brother today but when you look for him tomorrow hes busy defecting from you, these people are there for a reason, a reason to learn and to be careful and to show our weakness's to make us stronger.
and no problem about your comment not being a review because i agree with what you said.

My philosphy now - if I smell a rat, then I'm off. Life is too short to waste.

"A lie is a lie

A lie by omission is a lie
A lie is a lie.."

As much as I loved the story itself .. this was my favourite part!
A lie is a lie! No matter how you try and dress it up!

[Joey Nizz]

Exactly! a lie is a lie, no matter how small it is, but what to do, people just live on them.

Thanks for your review :)

"And struck me down when I wasn't looking.." These words really touched me..

[Joey Nizz]

Thank you for your review and your comment, you can't really trust having your back facing in front of anyone now days, they will just struck you when your not looking.

You are reading my mind. 😯 Freaky....

[Joey Nizz]

I guess some of us are going through the same, or my writing was on the spot for you.

[Stacy Purvis]

Totally spot on! 😉
