Backstabber (A Poem by Amanda Best)

So this poem was written in response to the pain someone caused by getting me to trust them and then when I was least expecting it, when I had completely let my guard down, they stabbed me in the back, metaphorically speaking. It was then that I realized that I probably wasn't the first person that this person had done this to, and I definitely wasn't going to be the last. I realized that we've all met them, and sadly we've all trusted them. They are charming and charismatic. They get you to trust them by telling you lies about themselves. So you tell them all your secrets, all about your past, you tell them everything. They promise to never hurt you and you believe them. So when they end up stabbing you in the back, then act surprised when you refuse their help getting the knife out of you. You want it left there as a testament to the world about just who they really are! For all you backstabbers out there, this is for you...Enjoy!!!

Backstabber
--Amanda Best
You told me you loved me
I told you my secrets
And you told everyone
Now you're nothing to me
I'd have prefer for you
To stab me in the heart
Instead of in the back
People tried to tell me
That all you ever were
Was a good for nothing
Two timing backstabber
I refused to accept
That it could be the truth
Now I see I was wrong
They never lied to me
Now you can find your knife
Right here where you left it
Sticking out of my back!
