Aaron Stokes Poems

My trust for you grew stronger over the years. I would never expect for you to do this here. You grew closer every day but to my dismay it was just your shadow. Your act caught me off guard so when that day finally came there was no one to blame but me.

  In a fit of condescending rage you ran behind me with your long, sturdy string of lies and mistrust and thrusted it into me. You attacked my heart from the place I couldn't see, the place I would never expect you to be. You came at my back, right behind me. Like a flash of light you slashed and dashed, leaving me here to bleed, oh how I couldn't believe how I ever trusted you. I trusted you with my life and you repayed me with a knife.
...

Am I good enough?
I can not answer this question
This life is rough, but I have to act tough, like I can do this. I can not let people know that I'm doubtful, perhaps I should be greatful.
