Jealousy visible in my eyes;
Anger clear in my face;
Violence shaking my body;
Vivid green envy corrodes my veins;
My voice is lost
Yet I am screaming;
My voice gets caught in my throat;
But at the same time,
It expresses to you in words so cutting that I feel betrayed and abandoned;
I am elapsed;
I am fading in your memory;
The forgotten girl,
She is condemned to be the fallen angel;
I have become she;
I have lost me to the abandonment and lies that have been told to me;
I am she;
And because of you I am no longer me.

The author's comments:
The inspiration for this piece is being betrayed by someone who has told you that they care about you and that nothing will change once they're gone and then finding out otherwise through other people.
