Questions I ask with My Eyes
You don't know
how much it hurts
how much it numbs me head to toe
when you kick me in the teeth
when I've done so much for you,
how much you make me stumble
make me feel stupid and weak.
How you make me feel like a little child
useless, incapable of a thing,
you've no ideas the tears I bottle up
so you don't see how often you win
how the crushing words you say to me
vibrate round my head and ring.
You've not a clue
at what the actions cause in which you do
how they're a never-ending pain in my side,
you just don't know
you just don't see
or maybe you do
only choose to ignore me,
choose to ignore the questions I ask with my eyes,
choose to brush over my awkward cries,
as you leave me standing here
empty except for worthlessness
spreading through every vein
again and again
I cry
hurting so badly
inside.

Wow...so much pain and you express it so well...
You are so expressive and I'm ashamed to say that I know this feeling all too well. Your words are so spot-on!
Nice work!

thank you for reading and for your words...I know, that feeling really is the worst ♥
damn
"You don't know

Damn... Yeah, betrayal is an ugly thing, and you really did express that feeling well with this poem. Great writing, JP.
Thanks neo
it hurts and still does, though I'm getting over it now-thank you for your comment :) ♥
So many women have felt that
So many women have felt that way, maybe men too, if the relationship doesn't make you a better person but puts down your self esteem then you shouldn't be with that person. Very well articulated.
There wasn't any respect
that's what got me, just nothing at all-thank you for reading this one ophelia, I appreciate it :) ♥
sweetheart, jewel ♥
this kind of stuff happens to nice people like you, who are so genuine and so real. and who are the nicest, kindest people in the whole world. who gave their all to someone and trusted them...
i dont know how else to explain it except to maybe to say that they are jealous of you...and wish they were just like you.
This same thing has happened to me too jewel. a so called "friend" betrayed me...and I found out the hard way it wasnt a friend afterall, becasue "friends" would never act that way...if they were truly a friend...am i making any sense??? i hope so. All i know jewel, is you are the type of friend that i would... and I DO treasure!!!
Nice write. ♥
xoxo♥

aw Linda, you're making sense to me! thank you so much, I know it happens to everyone, just that when it's happening to you you feel like you're on your own-but I know I'm not, because I have all you guys here! :D ♥
Jewel
It is so sad to see someone as nice as you go through this, writing is a good way to deal with this. I agree with what Linda said, good people will occasionally have this happen to them, and I agree with Ophelia also, but to back up this, it happens to men too, you know my story. Nice way you laid down your feelings here, keep writing and keep your head up-Lee
Thank you
so much Lee, it's always the way I cope, to let it out and write-thank you :) ♥
Jewel
This is a very nice poem. Its very sad to see that you have been through it. But, since you have written it down, I think you must be feeling far better. Good Luck.

I am
feeling much better now, thank you for taking the time to read and comment Gitanjali :D ♥
Hey Jewel,
That is despicable!
Is this for real, I mean, somebody physically harmed you or this is how your imagination works?
Anyway, it hurts… in words.
With all my support,
Iouri :(
Ubi vita, ibi poesis!
It's both
I knew if I didn't get out when I did I would have got hurt, but I'm fine, just hurt inside...though much better now-thank you Iouri :) ♥
