Is it human nature to be cruel to one another?
All evidence points to this being so.
I never asked for a thank you or even respect.

You are neither family or someone I love but
I admired very much.

I only asked that you, do your best.
Was it some test,
to repay kindness with heartlessness?

Or in your eyes,
Is kindness weakness,
only to be used and tossed out like trash?

I would have instead died if I knew what you would do.
Why didn't you just say goodbye?

Instead, you tortured me and brought back,
the most horrible memory,
from my past that made my heart burst.

You are neither family or someone I love but
I still admire very much.

Goodbye.
