"I'll always be here for you."

You should have never said those words if you weren't going to stick by them, because you might not have meant what you said, but I believed you and would have dropped anything to help you out if you ever needed me.

I trusted you and you broke me. All I needed was someone to talk to, someone to listen and someone to keep me company so I wouldn't feel all alone, but you destroyed me. I loved you more than I loved myself and you didn't care.

Why did you have to lie to me and act like you cared when you really didn't ? If you were just honest it would have hurt less. If you didn't want me in your life you could have just told me and I would have left.

It hurts because you made me feel like I wasn't good enough. You made me feel like I was in the way, like someone you only contacted when you needed something. Because of you, now I always feel like I don't belong. Now, I always feel like none of my friends want me around.

You made me feel like I wasn't pretty enough because you would always talk about how gorgeous everyone was but never once did you say that about me. Do you know how much it hurt when you flirted with everyone you laid your eyes on? Do you know how heartbreaking it was to know that I would never live up to the kind of beautiful you wanted me to be?

I don't understand how you could find it in your heart to hurt someone as innocent and trusting as me. You knew the amount of pain it would put me through but you decided to shatter my heart anyway. When I love someone, I love them with my whole heart and you knew that. You just used me as a backup until someone else came along and then you left, without explaining why.

I've been hurt so often in the past and it is hard for me to open up to people. But, I opened up to you because I thought you were different.

I spent countless nights crying over you, letting the cruel things you said about me run through my head, wondering what I did wrong. I was so kind, caring and loving and I never did anything to hurt you. You meant the world to me, but I meant nothing to you.

You treated me as if I didn't matter but I tried to ignore that you didn't care because you were the only person who could make me feel better. It is so sad how I fell into your trap and how I thought you were the kindest person in the world, when all you really were was toxic.

Time has passed and now I realize that all of the awful things you said about me aren't true. Every horrible comment you said about me still affects me to this day, but I learned to view myself as the exact opposite of what you said. I am beautiful, kind, intelligent, strong and loved. One day, I'm going to learn to embrace myself for who I am, and one day, I'm going to find someone who will appreciate me for the beautiful person that I am.

You brought me down so low, but I am rising and I will continue getting stronger because I am worth so much more than what you saw in me. I didn't need to be good enough for you or prove my worth to you because I was already good enough for myself.

You told me I was worth nothing but, I now know that my worth is endless.
