One Day

You may see it as just another boundary issue
For me it is like a dagger to the heart
Your response may seem justified by you
To me I felt as if the trust I gave so freely was broken
The pain so real to me I could fall into the abyss
At the mere thought of it

The emotional betrayal was not real I know
But, the feelings it provoked were inside me
You are trying so hard to help and I am acting
Like an emotional cripple unable to fend off the
Smallest of perceived negative slights

You meant no harm anymore than I did
But I must express myself or torment myself
Mentally for months after it happened to me
It will feel so real as if it happened just yesterday

Now I feel as if I failed you since you
Have given so much to make me better
Instead I faltered avoiding the reality of it all
One day I will leave and you will no longer be in my
Life.
