Manipulated
I've been gone for seven months
The pains and aches I've felt tower over me
My mistake for thinking older guys will be true
Note to self: Older guys go for younger girls because they're easy to manipulate
Turns out he didn't really like me
I was just another girl in his three sided game
It's fun until you figure out the "I love you" he said to her
Turns out there were more girls under my knowledge
Turns out he never got over the first love
So here I stand alone and crushed
Figuring out he said the same thing to a girl younger than me
Figuring out he blamed his first love for all his problems
"This wouldn't be happening if you just came back to me"
Funny how I thought I was the only one
Funny how I said I was over him but cried when I found out
Hilarious how the other girls floated through
Hilarious that I was so easy manipulated by him

Hello there,
Your poem struck a chord with me and I just wanted to say that being manipulated is something that could happen at any age by someone who's a master manipulator taking advantage of a trusting relationship. By the sound of your writing you have learned a harsh lesson which is truly awful,(my sympathies there) however can you take from that experience the knowledge that you need to not repeat that circumstance, you process it and you look forward.... I wish you all the best and I send peaceful and healing thoughts your way..
Sometimes we find strength we never knew we had...
Good luck and I thank you for sharing

Raw spill. This is depressing, sorry this happened to you. I know it's hard to see it now, but it is his loss and you'll be better off without him. Invest the love you had for him into yourself, and remember that you're strong and will gain strength from this. I bet manipulating girls makes him feel powerful, but if he resorts to treating people this way and taking no responsibility to manage his issues then he's clearly weak inside. You may have got caught in his web but you will get through this and you'll be able to spot people like that in the future easier now.
