Array ( [sid] => 155994 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => If Only You Knew [time] => 2009-12-16 10:52:31 [hometext] => because of you...i'm struggling to interact in social situations...i'm afraid that if i become friends with anyone again...they'll stab me in the back like you did (true friendship isn't guaranteed for a lifetime) remember that everyone [bodytext] => That's right
As soon as trouble stirs
You up and run
You claim to be a brother
Instead though you run to
Your part time lover

I can't handle it
I can't handle it
Is what you'd tell her
I don't want to go back there
It was all just a blur

Tell you something
Never come back to me
Remember how you treated me
Because of you
I'm not who I used to be
I've changed
I'm distant
I no longer feel free
Even the few friends I've got left
Would agree on the fact that
I'm not who I used to be

Why am I to blame?
For something you didn't follow through
I remember where I was when I told you
I told you what we needed to do
Why can't you remember that?

So what you going to do
What you going to say
That it was my entire fault
And now it's my turn to pay
Contact me and explain it properly
What do you say??

You may think I got a better deal
But because of what was said
My emotional wounds will never heal
As much as I would like them to
They will never be sealed

You may laugh and joke
Thinking it was just a game
But because of what happened
I will never be the same

Tell you something
Never come back to me
Remember how you treated me
Because of you
I'm not who I used to be
I've changed
I'm secluded
I no longer feel free
Even the few friends I've got left
Would agree on the fact that
I'm not who I used to be

Good riddance to that relationship!
It's been 10 yrs now & i still struggle sometimes. I have found though, that with each passing day,
I grow a little more in courage & conviction.

Good, powerful vent here, well written.
Well I relate, and it is hard to find a balance after being bitten once to often...... Going through that right now...... Not trusting anymore, build the wall....... So we need to be a bit more wise but not close off our hearts to everyone, there are still good people in this world, right?? Right!

Good work, keep writing your feelings it is good for your heart.

Oh yes, this has happened to me. I once a close friend who completely stabbed me in the back. But maybe I should have seen it coming -- he was the single weakest person I've ever known. It sometimes takes strength to be a loyal friend.
