How could you? Invite someone to be themselves and express their feelings, and the minute they do, the next day you're no where to be found? Is who I really am distasteful to you? Why didn't you just say so instead of faking like you liked the real me that I put on display for you? If there's one thing that I despise of in this world is a liar. I liked you enough to tear down my walls and give you the real me. Not only did I reluctantly do that, I was even generous enough to let you hold my heart too, oblivious of the monster that you'd soon become. A pure-hearted soul lent out their heart to a soulless devil with the shell of a reassuring angel. I trusted you. I believed what you said. I liked you that much to reveal my fun side prematurely. No one ever gets that. You were that special to me. Just thinking about how you abandoned me without warning or an advanced apology makes me not want to ever hear from you again--ever! I'm no longer the fool I was when you initially met me. I've learned to guard my heart. I shouldn't have had to go through this to realize that my heart is my most prized possession, but I did, and now I know. You were willing to put on a fake persona just so that I'd hand it over. I won't deny it. Your voice and who you appeared to be made me give it up in a heartbeat because I have never experienced such great admiration for anyone, and the fact that you were aware of that and took it anyway makes me livid. You took my prized possession with widened eyes and disbelief and it was as if you shattered it into pieces in my presence. The heart is fragile, like glass, and you just broke it. Shards by my feet, I dropped to the floor in pain. You took a part of me and broke it like it wasn't of any value to you. Well it was to me, and as painful and as sorrowful as it is, you don't get to see me cry. I wasn't worth a thing to you, so not shedding a tear for you would be futile. As if breaking my heart in my presence wasn't enough, when you anticipated me to cry about it, then realized no tears would fall, you carelessly walked away to never be seen of or heard from again. I may not have you anymore, but I have something far greater than you: my heart. It may be shattered into pieces, but in time it can be repaired, and it will beat again. I'd just like to thank you. From me you got to destroy me. From you I gained wisdom. I learned that from now on to not buy into what looks good. Because of you, I know how to discern a soulless devil from pure-hearted people with fragile glass hearts alike.

This is amazing, I can relate to this entirely, since I feel like this happened to me maybe a week or two ago - so it's pretty raw for me. I just want to thank you for putting this so eloquently (and I also want to give you a big hug Hug ^.^).
